Mark IV Invoices/forms/etc.

[Mark IV]

OK,
   Here are the first of the documents I have. There will be MANY more to follow as time and my steam-powered scanner allows.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   More to come....

Thanks Rick, these are very interesting.  I note that one of the cars was invoiced with a hardtop. In all of the literature I have and have read, I don't recall a hardtop being mentioned. Do you have any idea or remember how many cars you took delivery of with a hardtop, or if the hardtop was even delivered?  Also, do you remember the MSRP on these cars and whether you were able to sell them for more?  John AK1103

[Mark IV]

John,
   The hardtop was a "one-off", Brain didn't want to do it and after he did I was told "no more." The owner with the hardtop regreted ordering it as he never uses it...he still has the car and his brother bought an 87 MK IV from me in 1999 in a deal I brokered.
   
   The cars were $39,950.00 plus freight at first and, no, we did not mark them up over list.
   
   There will be many more interesting documents to come.

Ron,
   
   Sorry. 1234 is beyond my time with AC/Autokraft but the info exists in the "good book"
   
   Trevor, what say you? Time for the copies to come forth...

So its back into my cold dark loft is it? OK, I'll be back......

[Mark IV]

Trevor,
   Better you crawling around a cold, damp loft than me! My basement is dry and warm, just too damn many boxes to sort through. I am making progress and will continue to post the info here if wanted.

Trevor,
   Not that "Muck" guy again? I hear he is best buds with A.L. and together they are going to resurrect Alvis or some such old tat.

I look forward to seeing your magnificent Alvis Rick. A partnership made in heaven, to be sure. (Will it look a bit like a re-bodied SmartFourFour..?)

Aloha and thanks so much...can't believe you had the records.....that completes the history......I wonder why the wheels were painted black......were any more done like that?

Hello Gents,
   Any info on AK1087?  I have nothing substantial on the car, other than the original purchaser's name.  When I visited the AC factory (Frimley)in June 2002, Cyril Harvey was able to produce a very battered 3-ring binder which did contain a build sheet for my car, but was not allowed to make me a copy.  I did buy a factory oil cooler setup while I was there though. Thank You for anything you find.
