Brian Angliss owned Autokraft Ltd. which started as a Cobra restoration and parts operation. In 1983 he was licensed by AC Cars to use the "AC" logo and build Cobra shaped cars.
He aquired AC Cars Ltd in the late 80's and ran both companies from Weybridge. Ford Motor Company became a equity partner in AC (but NOT Autokraft) until such time as they wanted to liquidate AC. Brian fought them in court and won becoming sole owner of "AC Cars". Financial issues arose and he was screwed by his bank/banker and the company was placed into receivership with Price Waterhouse. The story from there gets really ugly with a rather unsavory charecter buying "AC"
If the "MX" chassis was done by Angliss it is NOT of 1968 vintage.
