Hi JWilly

Sorry, I guess I took your original comment at face value. I was thinking in terms of actual finished cars! Going back some years, HiTech/Superformance did produce a number of components for the long-deceased AC 'Brooklands' Ace that Lubinsky attempted to revive, but failed no matter matter how much money was thrown at it. Thus SPF ended up with a large pile of Ace body panels and no money for its efforts (deja vu)

In an effort to keep the AC marque alive, and in the hope of recouping a bit of money, Jimmy Price did agree to take over the day-to-day running of the AC factory in the UK at his own expense - and guess what happened? Indeed, when Lubinsky made an agreement behind Jimmy's back with Shelby to supply ali-bodied Cobras, he decided to move back in at AC and take control once more

I recall reading all this in a really good book somewhere...

Personally I have always held the belief that the real AC Cars Ltd was wound up in 1987 after 57 years of ownership by the Hurlock family. Everything since then has been a variation on a theme, despite the very honourable efforts of Brian Angliss who was treated so badly by our esteemed financial institutions (may they rot). Maybe its time to pull the sheet over the corpse?
