Looks very much, to my eye anyway, like a GT3 Triumph.

[Otto Puzzell]

Nope.

AC Aceca?

[MG]

Well, if those are NOT TR 3 tail light lenses, I'll eat my shorts!   

[Otto Puzzell]

AC Aceca?

You are correct sir!

[Tifosi]

I've always wondered...do you pronounce the name "ACE*ca" or "a*SEE*ca"?

I always assumed that it was the Boston pronunciation of a Chrysler product: ah-KAY-cah.

(A-K-Car? A K-Car? Get it? BWWWAAHAHAHAHAAHAAHAAA Ha aha ha... ha heh... whew.... hey, where'd everybody go? Damn.)

It wouldn't surprise me at all.  A  lot of small volume manufacturers used proprietary components.  I remember that one very up market Bristol model used Austin Allegro or Morris Marina door handles.  And both a TVR and the Lola GT used Mk1 Cortina rear lights - the circular ones in 3 sections.

And several Lotus models from the '70's used AMC doorhandles,too...the latest Mosler model uses Corvette taillights.
