AKH (GB) were one of those many obsure British special makers whom were around the 1950s and I have as of yet little information about this company no doubt Peter Filby a writer on the British kit car and specials would have covered something of this makers obscure history
The 2 references I have so far concern same car was auctioned later been available by a dealer but listing a different year.
See:
1950 2 Seater Special Thoroughbred & Classic Cars (GB) 1989 JUN page 92 volume 16 issue 9 mention listed been sold for 4600p - Sotherbys HAC Auction 1989 ; mentioned in report - Market by David Johnson car was Reg KDK 314
and then same car coming up for sale by a dealer See:
Thoroughbred & Classic Car (GB) 1989 September page 244 volume 16 issue 12 inc phioto for sale by Barrie A Gillies Racing Limited; Bradford;Bweks (car still for sale 1990 june Classic & Sportscar magazine page 325)

ACME SPECIAL -NZ
ACME SPECIAL
This was New Zealand Racing Special which used the Ford V8 powered from the Parry Thomas Flat Iron Special -the driver is unknown; single seater and here we have only one listing so far - However I would advice the REader to Read Graham Vercoes Book on Race Cars in New Zealand and refer to often to NZ Classic Driver who is last 5-6 years are producing articles of much of the unknown and never published Kiwi racing Specials
Listing I have is a period black and white photo of the car in 1950s as documented by NZ Vintage Car Club Inc own publication called 'Beaded Wheels'
Photo at Ohakea in 1950s Supplied by Jim Maud
see : Beaded Wheels (NZ) 1982 JUN-JUL page 20 issue 136
