They have a potted history of sorts on what happened in the '80s, just want to see if AC Mk. IV owners--who have probably followed this chapter and verse-- agree.
They say for instance 489 Mk. IV cars were produced by Angliss.
They also said that Angliss more or less lost his shirt with a model called the AC Ace he introduced at the '93 London Motor Show that was all new, nothing like a Cobra. I vaguely remember that car looking like a Jensen Healey.They say that he sold the firm to A. Lubinsky who sold it to Jimmy Price (South Africa) who later washed his hands of it.
Then they say that Alan Lubinsky and Shelby got togher in 2003 and were going to make the 427 S.C and 289 FIA (series titled CSX2000 and CSX7500) but only one prototype was built. I think I have seen the 427 bodied one advertised as a prize in a charity raffle. Anyway then the production went to Malta and the history goes on.
Their website with the whole history (about 10 paragraphs in this section) is on
accars.co.uk
My question is: could it only be one series 1000 car was made? Isn't Shelby using the 1000 series nomenclature again?
