Well done on the AC Ivor :thumbright:
The front reminded me of a Lancia Montecarlo, I thought that might throw some of you ;)

Sure those AC's were mid '70's, I remember my old mans mate trading a purple TR6 for a new one and it was on an 'M' plate I'm sure, would've been about '74 then.
Sweet looking car, loads better than a TVR Taimar, same engine tho :thumbright:

Just googled the AC, paulys spot on cos although it made its debut in 73 it didn't make proper mass production till 79 :shock:
Some cars did slip thru but I doubt the one I was thinkin of was one of those.

Said it was easier than yours! :roll:

Must have been a lot more of these around you way than mine Ivor. I have only ever seen two and one was rotten as pig swill.

Yep there was one around this neck of the wood for years, but disappeared recently, I think the Triumph underpinnings may have rotted and the body started to sink over the chassis, it always looked a bit saggy...bit like me really... :roll:

The yellow one is a Trident Venturer

The white one is a Bond Equipe 2 litre 6 cylinder, fibreglass bodied on Truimph Vitesse 2 litre chassis and mechanicals, and door shells, and bulkhead and floor.

Trident also made the Tycoon.

venturer was V6 ford, tycoon was Mopar I think.

For those who read my article on the Aviva Classic in 2010, there is a photo of a venturer in my write up :read2:

I won't take the pound, just the glory of having several types of anorak!
