Comment: No significant improvement from last time. Also there are no sections whatsoever. I would suggest getting help from the Teahouse or the help desk. Robloxguest3 (talk)

- Comment: We need multiple sources, with significant coverage. Effectively, we have just the one source, a good one, but we need more. The other 2 sources - one is in passing and the other is not considered a reliable source (essentially a self-made entry by someone without editorial oversight).

Brian Arthur Angliss, (Mar 1944 - 24 Feb 2024), was a British automotive engineer and businessman. He was known for reviving AC Cars and putting the AC Cobra back into production for the first time since the 1960s.
When car maker AC Cars lost interest in producing spares for the AC Cobra in the early 1970s it opened the door for small, independent businesses to step in. One of these was ‘Cobra Parts’, a one-man engineering business created by Brian Angliss.[1] He established a relationship with the management of AC Cars who gave his work an unofficial seal of approval. As his business grew it was renamed Autokraft which began creating new aluminium bodied Cobras using the original tooling, known as the MKIV. [2][3] With AC Cars struggling Angliss was able to take over the famous marque in 1986 and go into partnership with Ford Motor Company in 1987 who took a controlling interest in AC Cars and allowed it to use the Cobra name.[4][5][6]
As well as selling the AC Cobra MKIV the company also focused on developing a new AC Ace which ultimately led to Ford walking away. With poor sales, by 1996 the company had fallen into liquidation and was subsequently purchased by Alan Lubinsky.[7][8]
In retirement Brian Angliss moved to New Zealand and built a large house on the Ngunguru peninsula which at the time was said to be one of the most expensive residential constructions in the country.[9] He died in 2024.[10]
