Randall... weather report aside, I think there is a possibility you are both "kind of right."

When interviewed in June, Jim Price answered the following question for the Superformance community (quoted from their mailer):

Q.What is the relationship between Hi-Tech and AC cars?

Jim: We have purchased the sole rights to the AC Autocraft brand together with all the IP, tooling, equipment, bucks, jigs and fixtures, and will continue building the small block and big block street and competition models.

We have also taken over the London-based factory and staff to build these aluminum-bodied originals. We have not finalized distribution, but you may rest assured that the units will be competitively priced. They will definitely carry the correct 2000, 3000, or 6000 serial numbers together with the historically correct, AC designated prefix, depending on where they are shipped to.

(my emphasis)

AC Cars, as an entity, paper or otherwise, was not mentioned...only the Autokraft brand and products.

..and, BTW, I don't think anyone has to provide names and sources to validate their opinion.
