OK - back to the original posting. In the AC 'Bible', MkIV chassis number AK1113 is shown as being sent to British Motor Car Distributors Ltd, 901 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94109 on 3/30/88 - but this is followed by the next 5 chassis numbers in sequence being shipped during 1986, the first three going to the dreaded Muck Motors (!!) and the next, 1119, shipped during 1985. So kinda all over the place really. It was painted Mercedes Signal red, with tan trim and a black tonneau - but the real question re the engine cannot be answered as it simply says '302'. Some cars say 302 carb, or 302 fuel-injection, 302 non-emission or 302 49 States. I have the vin numbers for the ignition, gearbox, boot, bonnet and fuel, but thats it. Sorry...
