Hello All,
I recently started stripping the AC Buckland which I purchased quite a while ago. I have at last found suitable premises in which to do the necessary work, after planning permission being refused for a garage at home. This took many months of architects haggling with the council without success. Anyway, after starting removing bits a few weeks ago, I thought that the front seats look different to all the photographs I had been looking at and later read in one of the many articles I had from earlier auctions, that the front seats fitted to my car are from a Triumph Herald. So, the big question is, does anyone know of a pair of Buckland seats for sale. Condition is not critical because I have to restore the rest of the interior. Even a couple of frames would be alright.
I think there is a lot more I do not know about the car at the moment. One of my concerns is regarding the hood, for which I only have a damaged frame. I would like to see a Buckland sometime, to take some photographs of details I don't know. I have only ever seen one and it was a pale yellow on show at the NEC many years ago. I did attend the Classic Car Show at the NEC in November last year, but there wasn't a Buckland on the AC stand.
It would be great to hear from anyone who could help with the front seats, hood or just any information on these rare cars.
Cheers,
Richard Hutchings
