According to the few lines in the ACOC Ace Bristol Register:
BEX1100 left Thames Ditton 0n the 24th August 1959, Painted Bright Blue metallic with grey leather interior. With Bristol engine
#
100D2 957.
Original Owner was J Herman-Gill / Berks & Kenya.
2nd owner was Eric E Glasby, During Erics ownership, We believe it was resprayed Red and retained its grey interior.
Not sure when the Engine was swapped for
100D2 1021, I know when I liaised to purchase a Ex Eric Glasby Ace Bristol in June/July 2000 from
Mr Jack Clough (Pinetown South Africa)the vender stated that Eric had been very ACtive with his AC's and possibly had three at one time, so engines,
gearbox , wheels etc could well have recycled between the three Aces..( hopefully research reveals and authenticates more accurate history)..[
]
My financial offers were not accepted and I eventually purchased BEX333 from Seattle USA a few months later (Sept/October 2000)..[
]
I daresay, Tim Isles the Ace Bristol Registrar will check the register and hopefully furnish you with more information.
Enjoy the Ace and please keep us all informed as your research yields new History.
In the meantime, if you require any spares or technical information please use the Club Forum where you will usually receive prompt and useful advice and assistance.
