BobGreat Period Photo…...Great Find. Any More from the Series . ? .
Photo is one of a series of street scene photos taken in 1959 of Ace Bristol BEX243 , when this Ace wore Race number 175EP, and number plate (Registration number 18 184.
I believe the guy in the Chequered Cap could be T K Van Northwick ??
The engineers all had the same Overalls with Kendall 2000 mile Motor Oils logo on their back.
Other associated Information ….. One of the photo' s I have shows BEX243 outside Foreign Cars Inc Show room / workshop and another photo associated with the Name Ed Welch.
All the photos dated 1959 and 1960. Brief History ………………….
BEX243 left UK for G Ragsdale in Virginia on the 8th January 1957 who raced it and came 8th equal in 1958 SCCA, Ed Welch Raced in 1957 / 1958 and 1959 successfully in SCCA.
BEX243 eventually landed back in the UK and underwent a full restoration by Mike Berrisford in 1998.
Only have a few pictures of BEX243 ACtually racing, Has any one more Period Race Pictures ? if so can you please share with
ACOC members either in ACtion Magazine or on the Club Forum and to complement the ACOC Official Ace Bristol Register ..
Last but not least. Beware, this is a fresh copy not the original 1950s copy ,so the vendor could well print and sell dozens of copy on ebay.
