It seems like all work for hire printed in the UK after 1956 is copyright protected for 120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever is shorter. As the company "AC Cars by Gullwing GmbH" from Germany now has the rights for all AC trademarks the manual is most likely their property as well.

As the manual has no copyright notes inside it wasn't protected had it been printed by Shelby. In the US a copyright note was required until 1989, but not in the UK. So I think it is not possible to sell copies legally...
