[Mark IV]

As much as it pains me to admit, perhaps the end of "AC" would be a kindness. As Trevor and Whatsa have told all, and what they have revealed to me in private communications only confirms that the time may have passed for the entity of "AC".

If resurrected, what product makes sense? The Kirkhams have made the aluminum "Cobra" a quality, repeatable product. The Superformance and others have made any fiberglass "Cobra" redundant, and while I was great fan of the concept of the Ace "Brooklands" (and long to own the LHD car that being built for our demonstrator) the lack of funding doomed that product to never reach full development and production.

Perhaps there is no product that defines AC that they can produce that is not done better, cheaper, more profitably by others than can be done by the originator.

Unless the UK need new invalid cars, I fail to see a niche that AC can fill.

The realization of this fact saddens me deeply, my enthusiasm for AC goes back many years, my business connections with them over twenty-five.

Perhaps it is time to pull the plug and ask for a "do not resusitate" order to be issued.

Sadly,

Rick
