While in Brighton....
Went to Brighton for the day today and spotted this little beauty...
Should be easy to find who owns it by the reg number.

You are absolutely correct, AC did indeed make them. They also used to make small trains that you used to see at the seaside giving trips along the
sea front. Hastings still run one but i don't know who built it.

If you published their name here (no don't do it!), they definitely would become famous!

You're talking about the Thundersley/AC Invacar you are
Always had dreams of getting one and shoving a GSXR1000 motor into one, lowering it, widening the track by about a foot, flared arches, matt black
paint........
