It looks as though Rinsy Mills has written new book on AC Weller Engined Cars!

Dear All
   I am trying to locate the present owner of a 1926 Acedes FS Edge Special which had an Aluminium head fitted to the Weller 6- cylinder engine, Chassis Number 13335, engine number R21/1986.
   This is to have it verified by the VSCC as an optional fitting to the Vintage cars, i believe i have located an Aluminium head which is fitted to the GN Semmence Special which i will lokk at shortly.
   If all goes well i am hoping to have the VSCC accept the heads a standard & not catagorise as 'special' any engines hwo have new Aluminium heads fitted.
   Your assistance would be apprciated.

Does anybody know of good plater for this in the South of England?

For those wishing to have a copy look at Amozon Book site two books for £0.45 each, a bargain for any book but read & apply his suggestions with care!

Does anybody know a Geoff Hood in Australia who i believe re-builds AC Weller engines? i also believe a Richard Stanley is also involved.
   It would be nice to here from like minded members interested in the AC Weller engine
