Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Competition Tuning: The AC Ace-Bristol
« on: March 22, 2012, 21:58:30 »
My being fresh to the on-line forums, I haven't run across this article, but in case it has already been covered, please let me know.
While searching thru some documents tonight I came across my original edition of Sports Cars Illustrated magazine, August 1959. One of the lead articles is "Competition Tuning: The AC Ace-Bristol". The article itself is titled "Play Your Ace" by Dennis May. The article focuses on VPL442 and Ken Rudd. It contains several pictures of VPL442 and Ken, as well as some details on modifications to VPL442s chassis, body and Bristol engine.
I don't believe I have read this article in over 40 years, so it was almost as if I was reading it for the first time.
If it does not violate any conditions of the ACOC and Forum rules, I am willing to scan the article into a .pdf format in case anyone would be interested in receiving a copy. I don't know if this article, being taken from a magazine, albeit over 50 years old, would also be allowed, or even desired, in the "articles" section of the Members Area. Advice on this would be appreciated.
If a .pdf copy of this is permitted, at least sent between forum members, contact me direct w2ec at arrl dot net and I will be glad to send you a copy.
Regards, Paul
