Barrie/Nik/Brian,
Well spotted and identified. Tim’s Ace register records AEX1050 as ‘Scrapped in USA. Engine now fitted to AEX113. Identity used by B Angliss to build a replica Cobra.’
The Thames Ditton Cobra register replicas appendix records 'VIN Asserted AE1050, Built 1980, Last Known Owner Bryan Wingfield, Additional Information Built by Brian Angliss. RHD. Rounded wheel arches. [Brian Angliss, Rod Leach] (Not an AC chassis number).’
Bryan told me ten or so years ago that the replica’s registered VIN was AE1050, not AEX1050, as it was built RHD, thus the ‘Not an AC chassis number’ comment. I’ve added ‘AEX1050 was scrapped in the USA. See Ace Register’.
Finally, a number of the Moray cars are on loan, and the present owner is not known. I may find out more later today.
