I receieved the following email from Clive Sutton yesterday:
   
   Clive Sutton Premier Marques are presenting their collection of performance & luxury cars at the show this year, featuring the new Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder, Bentley Continental GTC Convertible, Porsche 911 Turbo, Ford GT, Ferrari 599, Mustang Shelby GT500, Hummer H3, Mustang Eleanor and the debut of the AC MKV.
   
   If anyone is attending the MPH roadshow I'd be interested to learn any details of the MKV. I must admit that my interest is mainly based on my curiousity of how many cars which actually be made.

Chaps,
   
   Thanks for all the advice. I must mention that I have already spoken to Mr Faulkner-Stevens and he is indeed a jolly helpful and polite chap ( he did, however, imply that I was a snob for preferring the aluminium bodies [;)]- I'm just a little bit feminine and "dig scars" !). I will try the other sources you recommend as I am keen to avoid falling in love with a car only to find I don't fit.
   
   Many thanks once again.

I guess that I'm in the same position as twogreens. I'm keen to purchase a MkIV but have very little knowledge of what to look out for when spending such a serious amount of money. I prefer the aluminium bodied AK cars from the 80's as opposed to the CRS but purely because that's the model I originally fell in love with. (In the same way since I married my wife better models have come along but I'm still with my wife...and she's with me). I would like to know what typically can and does go wrong that I need to look for when viewing cars, what different options were offered by the factory (engines etc), could a 6 foot 5 chap with size 15 feet even fit in? I appreciate that these are quite basic questions but cars are few and far between so the chances for comparison are quite limited. I for one would be greatful for any sort of buyers guide and an idea about how much people actually pay for them as opposed to the sticker prices I see.
   Thanks.
   P.S. I'm in Marlow, England.

For those of you that might be interested, a colleague of mine has just shown me an article in Top Gear Magazine ([V]I know, sorry) about the MKV. There are about 3 pages showing the outside of the car (with the interior covered from view) with a few details of price, options and build etc. Thought this might interest some of you in the UK.
