Paul Spencer reports: "I don't know if you ever wonder what happens to your "Editor's Choice" cars.
I saw the AC Sociable that you featured on 31 Jan (Gavin McGuire). I drove 100 miles to see the car the same day and bought it on the Sunday. It was delivered to me yesterday and I went for my first run. My other old car is a
3 litre Bentley (now I have two, does that make me a collector?) and I find that I am being held up by other cars more often than I am holding them up.
That won't happen with the AC! It's great when it gets moving, but it needs the (very) low gear to tackle the Cotswold hills. So now I would love to hear from other cyclecar owners in the Cotswolds. I hadn't been looking specifically for an AC (I had been looking for a Messerschmidt KR200 to fill the triangular hole in my garage), but now I am looking forward to the summer with it."
Editor: many thanks for your report Paul! Other Cotswold cyclecar afficionados are most welcome to contact him through
our mailbox. That aside we will not be surprised if nearby living Top Gear chief Jeremy Clarkson will come up soon with a spectacular test, inspired by Paul.
