Register for Later Vehicles

[Chafford]

November's 'Action' notes that Robin Stainer has produced a draft proposal a register for post 2001 vehicles. The proposal is for a register of cars made by AC as complete vehicles.
   
   Vehicles 'made by others than AC or partly by AC and completed by others there would be an appendix to the registers listing them as "made by" but not a formal register'
   
   'Action' notes that Robin will run the Appendix for "Cobra" like cars.
   
   Interesting stuff, and well done to the Council for taking on board some of the comments made on this site over the past few months. []

This is very helpful & will bring AC enthusiasts into the Club, Good work.

   Does that mean that all CSX Cobras have to leave the formal register? []

No - there was a formal production contract between AC and Shelby American for the CSX cars.
   
   The analogy is with the 'Other Period Cobras' listing, where AC parts were used in cars built by others.  Robin has pointed out that this section should be classed as an 'Appendix' rather than a 'Register' and that will be changed at the next site update.  (The replica listings are already and correctly described as 'Appendix').

[Chafford]

The new Register and Appendix will hopefully provide an incentive for dealers to provide accurate information on Continuations when advertising.
   
   Interesting too that the new Membership section of November's 'ACtion' includes a new member with a 'Factory Five MkII Cobra'. Certainly nothing wrong with that, but one for the 'Cobra Like' Appendix?

[rstainer]

The ACOC Register is only for vehicles made by AC. If the Council receives an application for a vehicle built by another constructor using significant parts manufactured by AC, it will be listed in an appendix.
   
   This is like the current Register appendix ‘Period Cobras Built by Other Constructors’ (to be loaded on the website shortly) listing HEM 6, CSX 2131 and CS 2131A (constructors: High Efficiency Motors, Willment, and Willment and Unknown Parties).
   
   Thus a Factory Five Cobra would not appear in the Appendix.
   
   The Club’s procedure for those who apply for a more recent AC made vehicle to be registered is set out in December ACtion. If anyone would like an AC made vehicle registered, please apply to any member of the Council with the normal register information (VIN, date sold by AC, current owner etc) and supporting copy documentary information (V5C or other registration document, invoices etc).
