"This photo of my grandfather John Morris in AC 260, I think is dated around 1935 and show the car in its original form. After this in 1937 John altered the rear of the car to make it look more sporty. It sounds like at the time engines and chassis’ where delivered to specialist coach builders to be finished. So John had made it look more like a racing car before selling it in 1945."

"I have a full box file of details on this car dating back to the 1940s. The car belonged to John Norris who was a personal friend of my father and between them they tracked down a lot of history on the car. The file includes details of engine rebuilds including every receipt and letters written or received from garages during its ownership by John Norris. I have attached a copy of power of attorney (above) required to reclaim the car from Pierre Macareal after he has tragically killed, racing at Le Mans."
