Id just like to add something to this slightly off topic but kinda related in a way.Recently Land Rover cars stopped production of the Rover/Buick engine after about 35 years of production in various saloon and 4x4 vehicles.That engine was the core of the British sports car industry involving Morgan TVR Marcos to name a few, they were all left without suitable power units for there cars, but all of which have sourced new engines from Ford BMW and Chevy, and of course TVR have been building there on S6 and V8 engines for some time.
Im sure this is a similar story to what AC cars faced when Bristol pulled the plug and left them with a empty space between the chassis rails. It would of been only a matter of time before they got hold of the new small block ford engine.And if they would of i think the car would not be the car it is today but something more to what the Healy 3000 should of been! Shebly walked through the door just at the right time.
