The MkV was beyond bad and the MkVI is still based around a kit-car withever way you slice it. Jurgen Mohr knows his stuff of course, but for me...sorry, never an AC for all the badges you slap on it. The company formally known as AC is now a badge-engieering entity, having missed the simple trick that Carroll Shelby has pulled off. This is due to the management not understanding the market and having no respect for its past. If AC had opened a small business selling rolling chassis at an fair price which would enable an owner to easily complete a car that would have an AC badge and entry into the club archives, then it would still be making money, as Shelby Automotive appears to be doing (I'm sure I'll be corrected on that one). I could continue and could post a lot more, but my lawyer says.....
I've had many conversations on the topic with Steve Gray and if nowt else, he's no fool..... ;-)

I suppose Steve Gray has to be diplomatic given he's part of the AC licencing deal. AC Heritage's site carries pictures of the Mk VI. 
And this was the car that made waves on the other site. Possibly not one to take along to Thames Ditton on Sunday!
