Our pal DMXF has a copy of a letter about MX 1 from AC Cars confirming that it started life as a 96" wheelbase chassis for an AC 428 Frua. It was shipped to the USA in June of 1969 as a chassis with brakes, suspension, and shock absorbers. The buyer was going to build a custom body for it, but didn't. That gives us a clear picture of the origins of the car, and confirms that AC built it, but it was never intended to be a Cobra from the factory.
