I only met Karl's brother with this car once, in a parking lot. It was bare aluminum at the time. And I think he was insulted when I asked him if it was a Kirkham. He was telling me it was an AC. And I asked if it was a Brian Angliss car and he said it was, but he was sure to point out that it was not an AC MkIV.

Ah, but it is! It is an early car but it has the PGM (Poly Gel Mitagator) bumper mounts as opposed to the twin bolt Mk III style and no brake/vent openings by the nose. This is a "Buxbaum" car that was imported as a roller. Several were not sold as intended and were converted to 427s, etc. for the buyers. The earliest car I had was AK1013 and I think all the cars up to AK1009 were imported by Richard Buxbaum.

Nice MK III conversion. Hard to tell how much it's worth. Maybe if he had C.S.'s autograph on the title........

I know about Karl's and dad's cars. Just thought his brother was working on a 289, guess not. I know Karl wants a 289 next, can't blame him. Karl said his brothers car is a beast, does look nice however I did like the BRG SAAC29.

Still like it!

FE powered AKL kinda cool
