I note that they state ‘is open to pre tax cars and bikes only’  what are pre tax cars or is this a misprint for pre war cars?

Apologies, I can’t help directly, have you googled ‘3 brush dynamo’ there are a lot of diagrams there, you may be able to deduce the correct connections.

Some Tyres are said to develop flatspots if left for any length of time without use, in my experience these quickly vanish with use.

I see it sold for £39,675-  inc. premium.
Hopefully the new owner will put it back to an AC engine.

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / 2-4-6 at Auction

« on: February 16, 2018, 17:14:17 »

The forthcoming Bonhams auction has a 2-4-6 from 1937, because of its non standard running gear its estimate looks low.

At the same auction there is a Vintage AC, an early Ace and a ME 3000.

Cobra (Thames Ditton) Forum / Re: Buyer beware?

I would have thought that even a couple of years ago, a Cobra at little more than Ace Bristol money should have raised a question.  And selling it on because the cost of the annual road tax was too high sounds a bit lame.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / AC Ace restoration costs

« on: December 11, 2017, 06:34:58 »

Are you intending to do much of the work yourself, or give the job to a specialist?
   Which engine are you looking to source?  AC;  Bristol;  6cyl Ford or something else?
   It does sound as if your starting point could be very basic!
   If you are going for an original specification and much of the work done professionally, i would want a budget of $200,000-

These people

   Have recently rebuilt AC engines. If you need a new block, have it checked for porosity.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Aceca doors

   Unfortunately I have thrown back a wide range of diseases. It was only last weekend that I was able to resume work on my Aceca. Well, I have both doors disassembled again and the locks expanded. The play between the gears is, however, very low (<1mm), so I am unsure whether and how I should proceed further. Could you possibly overtake the locks for me? (Of course against payment). I would like to continue with other work, because I do not know at the moment how much time still remains to me (2nd and 3rd August OP Prostate Cancer)
   
   So sorry to read this - very best wishes for the future.
