Contact the relevant registrar directly - contact details are in ACtion.

Although access to the registers is restricted to current ACOC members, the information in those published on the club website is regarded as public domain information.  The register entry for a particular car may be provided by a registrar in response to bona fide enquiries from non-members, for example from a prospective purchaser.  Any other information not in the public domain (and there is a lot out there - there are numerous photos of both my ACs on the internet) is regarded as confidential.  Some information in the published registers is shown as 'Withheld' on request.

John Spencer will be giving a talk on 7 February as detailed in the poster below:

And from your Webmaster - Happy Christmas and all the best for 2023.

Please contact Spares Co-Ordinator Steve Hall with the suggestion.  The Council is always prepared to consider fully costed proposals for remanufacturing new spares unavailable elsewhere.

I understand Terry is recovering from a nasty bout of COVID and the mag will be out soon.

16/XX refers to the engine that was fitted.

The AC Six was a "16 HP" engine according to the RAC taxation class:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower

16 HP had no relevance to the engine's real output, so AC and many other manufacturers used designations such as 16/66, 16/70, 16/80 etc. 
16/66 = 16HP taxation class, 66 HP output at the flywheel (these numbers were sometimes optimistic!)
16/80 = 16HP taxation class, 80 HP output at the flywheel

The Anzani/Cubitt/AC 4 cylinder was in the 12 HP taxation class.

I have had a WOSP starter on my 3000ME for several years - no problems so far.

There have been a series of articles in ACtion on MA200, which among many other things firmly put to bed the story that it was a prototype for the flat six.  Join the club, get the info!  The annual subscription costs less than than a tank of fuel.  There's another short article in the current issue.
