A certain gent who now makes some of the best replica cars in the UK was on 'works experience' secondment to AC Cars in the late 60s while studying engineering at university. He was offered the 427 body bucks provided he could find a trailer to take them away - for free. His transport back then was a Mini so he refused the kind offer, plus he had nowhere to store them. Thus they went into the dumpster and are currently buried pretty deep in a land-fill site somewhere - possibly Essex? If you got a shovel and a strong stomach and enjoy archaeology - and about 50+ years of spare time - they could be yours! (He still sobs gently on a daily basis....)
