General Forum / ACOC LOGO
« on: April 13, 2011, 11:22:04 »
There follows a Statement from the ACOC Council:
"The AC Owners Club and Acedes Holdings LLC (registered holder of certain AC trademarks) have been unable to agree mutually acceptable arrangements whereby the ACOC would receive a licence (if required) to use the AC logo in its badge. Although the club believes it has the continuing right to use the logo based on the original agreement of the manufacturers after the Club was founded in 1949 and long-standing acquiescence by successive manufacturers and trade mark owners, the ACOC is not prepared to risk club funds on court proceedings. Accordingly, an alternative title will be used by the club for the time being and is now displayed on the website. The ACOC will also include statements on their website although these confirm the existing position."
For the present, please refrain from discussing the issue on this Forum as correspondence is continuing.
Thanks
Bryan

« on: October 27, 2010, 09:59:53 »
There's a well written and accurate article on David Moroney's 16/80 restoration in the current 'Classic Cars'. It's the first time I have bought a copy for a long time - the standard has improved enormously.

General Forum / 2010 Goodwood Sprint
« on: September 14, 2010, 17:53:49 »
The entry form and regs are now available and should have been sent to previous competitors.
They are available by email from John Abel:
john_abel289 at hotmail dot com
If you haven't tried before, it's a great event. You need helmet and overalls to MSA spec, 'On' and 'Off' clearly marked on your ignition switch, a simple strut to activate the timing beam, a catch tank and a positive throttle return spring - and of course a non-race competition licence (no medical involved).
Come along and be part of our own Glorious Goodwood!
