I was sad to see the demise of AC after over 100 years of existence and regrettably cannot see much hope for it's resurrection with the MkV.
Had dinner with one of the Kimber principals last night who is still reasonably optimistic about getting the project off the ground. If the only realistic way to keep the marque going is through Kimber then I, for one, applaud the move and wish them every success. Would doubly do so if this can then lead to the development of more "grunty" cars that more faithfully follow the AC tradition. That, of course, would be the really risky stage. It is one thing to adapt an existing design that someone else has poured huge amounts of development dollars into and another to start from scratch. Again, lets hope they get in a position to be able to make that call.
