To quote the last sentence in the first paragraph:
   
   "Sadly three cars in right hand drive specification were manufactured....."
   
   I, on the other hand, couldn't possibly comment.

   Trevor, you at a loss for words?!?!?! I for one, am shocked. And "superbly prepared", sadly not by AC!

Erm, how many factories?
   
   And how superbly prepared can a car be when it has: "...vented discs all round fitted to Cooper Racing tyres..." ? What, no wheels?! [:I][}:)]

That was built 3 years ago.[:p]
   
   I hope the MkV is more superbly prepared than it`s description!

I love the statement:
   
   "The company specialises in offering immediate or shorter delivery"
   
   I suppose when you dealing with "AC" in Malta it probably was being totally honest! [:D]
   
   I wonder what the actual cost of production per car was. Not just in Malta, but also sorting them out when they arrived in the UK? In real terms this must be an absolute snip. A fraction of what the true cost would have been.

another migrane Robin
   
   I am assured, however, that the engines in those 3 cars are stonking. Once the value reaches that of the engine, grab it. As for the rest of it..... collectors items they ain't.

Trevor, sorry to disturb you from your "magical moment", but tell us do. Who got the job of putting them right and what was wrong with them (or if its quicker what was right!). And how good are they now?
   
   Time to spill the beans!
