I have been in contact with John Spenser,(archivist) ...
An ongoing e-mail dialogue with 'lighthouse' has established that the Invacar belongs to his neighbour, was made by Thundersley not AC, and has a twin-cylinder Steyr Puch engine.
The Thundersley was probably made to a similar design as the AC. The nearest equivalent AC is thought to be the Acedes Mk 70. There is no handbook or other information for this in the Archive, but I am trying to source and copy a handbook. This was e-mailed to 'lighthouse' yesterday.
Handbooks for the earlier AC invalid carriages include only basic information about the operation and running maintenance. As advised by 'BE774' & 'ted' above, the contact at invacar@yahoo.co.uk would most probably be a more fruitful source.
