That explains a lot, like the gap between this car's supposed build date and the kit cars (including an Albar Jet!) produced several years later. Still lacking any specifics about the AWD drivetrain if it was indeed part of the 1967 build. A few more details (now that it actually can be researched!):
"Extremely rare Alba Jet DHC, 1967, Space frame Chassis with inboard front suspension and GRP bodywork, running Ford 2.8 V6 with Permanent 4WD. I have owned this car for almost 5 years now and have been gradually recommisioning it ... Fantastic looking and driving car, Light with it’s spaceframe chassis, Very tight throughout, handles and brakes superbly and grips as you would expect with 4WD. It also has power steering, rare with this type of car ... As for the car itself, the previous owner told me that he was told it was originaly running an early crossflow and was changed to it’s present running gear in the late 80’s, I have tried to trace early history with little luck other than general feeling is it is a 1960’s special that’s seen improvement and modification over the years."
