This raises a number of interesting issues on this side of the Pond.

Nigel Hulme and Rod Leach already sell the Superformance Mk111 in the UK which will be in competition with AC's MkV1. I wonder, given that Jim Price owns Hi Tech and is now on the board of AC Cars, whether they will be allowed to continue selling the Superformance car here.

I'm also wondering whether Mr Leach will be allowed to sell the Slabside as a Superformance badged car if AC are selling exactly the same car.
Superformance and the "AC MK VI" are in no way "competitors" so I would guess there will no change in what Nigel and Mr. Leach offer. This is based on my opinion and in no way on any information I may (and don't) have.

The MK II being sold as different products in vastly different markets has no bearing on the existing UK dealers.
