That's correct for those that choose the alloy bodies, one would presume the rolling chassis is shipped over

Hi-tech, sans drive-train to get around emissions. Drive-trains are then fitted by approved persons in the US e.g. Hillbank, Olthoff, etc.

   The process as instructed by the mamangement, is that you contact AC Cars via email with the details of your query / problem. It is then decided by the management whether your issue will be addressed or not - easy
   
   Reality is that you are either mechanically adept and resolve the issue yourself, or get a garage to do the work. I have been somewhat lucky in that one of the benefits of the certification process has been that the car has had to be disassembled for inspection and reassembled. The process has revealed many hidden problems that have subsequently been rectified and also allowed me to build a quite comprehensive dossier of componentry used, that is invaluable for the long term maintenance of the vehicle

   Have responded privately to your question, there is a limit to personal information (regardless of our opinions of the persons involved) that should be broadcast on a public forum
   
   With a lot of online due diligence and with "friends" in Herefordshire it is not too hard to find their details, both physical and electronic

Driving on any roads and legal registration would be made all the easier with a process of continuous improvement.
   
   Most businesses that operate in small niche markets, value their customers and hold them in high esteem, welcoming their feedback so that they can continuously improve their product and hopefully hold on to them as repeat customers or that they will generate further word of mouth business.
   
   Given the issues that have been encountered with 2700 and the minimal (minor jig changes) cost of the changes that could be initiated to make future cars compliant, not just in our jurisdiction, (which seems one of the more stringent, along with Switzerland) but globally, why would you not do this.
   These issues, remedial actions and general quality control have been brought to the attention of the management, with no response at any level.
   
   Would I recommend someone to buy an AC from the present management, most certainly not. It seems that they  operate on the (military) principle of like it or lump it.
   
   Moral of this story - if you are considering buying a recent AC, go for a proven design such as the CRS, SB  or MKIV, at least they seem to be built by people that have a conscience and are more concerned with the quality of the product delivered, rather than minor improvements to the driving experience, which most owners would carry out themselves, should they wish

think there maybe a glut of leftover anniversary cars someone is trying to get rid of... all bar one of the pictures are of 2700, taken from the Boss advertisement (even the VIN plate)
   Trevor perhaps we should be so kind to ask for the photos to be removed, would be interesting to see what they are replaced with

Although not a picture of an Ace, believe this may help clarify what Robin is attempting to describe in the previous post

Another strange thing is the wipers "parked" on the wrong side,  majority of RHD cars have wipers that park on the right and vice-versa. Could it be a LHD conversion ?

Given the BS I'm still going through with the anniversary car, I'd be a masochist to do it all again.
   The MKIV, SB and CRS all appealling, but just not worth the headache. Imagine trying to get all the suspension,  brake and steering drawings and then submit them for design approval and that is before they will even look at the car.

Could be a race on here, MKII Anniversary or MKVI....albeit under different circumstances, both of us still do not have a road legal car from the new AC Cars company after many, many months/years of frustration; a scale electric and a few beers would be damn sight cheaper and more fun than we're having at the mo !!
