I wish Brooklands Motor Company every success with the new AC venture.

AC and its South African owner, Al Lubinsky, also, have been linked to two other ventures that appear stalled. In the first, AC had planned to open a production plant in Bridgeport CT, to make a new range of V8 powered roadsters and coupes.

England to England to Connecticut, oh not Connecticut to Malta, oh not so Malta, to the new facility in Texas by the guy who Shel is suing for some big bucks as read in another thread? AC making a "Smart Car"? Is there an Oxymoron there?
AC appears to be gone as we all remember it.
