« on: April 25, 2015, 15:56:26 »
Hi All:
I am new, my name is mick Arnold in Tasmania Australia.
I recently purchased an AC Ace Bristol Chassis No.BE1100 Engine No D2 957.
This car has been hiding in a small garage with out being touched for the last 25 years.
I purchased it from Colleen Glasby who's husband Eric was an AC dealer in South Africa.
They bought the car in 1970 so same family ownership for 45 years.
When they migrated to Tasmania they bought the car with them, Eric passed away many years ago & the car has not seen the light of day for 25 years.
The car is Red with very light Grey trim with red piping it was this color when Eric bought it in 1970, but It shows signs of being dark metalic Blue.
I have re commissioned the car & it is running & driving very well indeed,,it came complete with original hood & side screens & a pristine AC Ace Bristol hand book & sales brochure stamped Glasby Garage
I would be interested to find out the early history of the car before Eric bought it, can any one help.
Mick
