Default Trying to track down 1st owner of my car AK1201

G'Day Guys

I know the first owner of my 87 AC Cobra (AK1201) was a 'Jim Engel' from Farmington Hills, MI. I even have the original Autokraft Owners Handbook signed with a 'best wishes' note from Brain Angliss on the front page.

He sold the car in 2008 however also owned a Kirkham 427 he built up himself (KMP026). For all I know he may still have it.

If anyone has any contact details I would love to introduce myself and get some history of the car from him.

I know you are looking for information on your car, but in this case, I do not recommend you reach out to the family

Ohhh that's sad news indeed. My commiserations to the family. Fair enough then if you recommend that I don't reach out.

Thanks
