True - Brian Labans book has a couple of pictures of the AC289. In a totally unbiased observation - my books had 17 pics plus a reproduction of the full 'Motor' road test of the AC289 Sports of October 14th 1967.

True - the 289 did feature the narrower rear-end, which is why they look so much more attractive (to me and a few others). Of the 25 complete cars built, 3 were shipped to the USA. The AC demonstrator, registered KPD150C , was originally Guardsman Blue, but some utter cad later painted it black and shoved a 427 into it, thereby ruining it forever. (I'm still having therapy....)
