OlanWelcome to the AC Owners Club, Your Dad had good taste and bought well, What a great restoration project, The few photos posted show that BEX1094
was fitted with a roll hoop and had a optional Oil Pressure gauge fitted, indicating that BEX1094 could have had some race, hill climb or sprint history during the early 1960s.
Hopefully you come across some little gems whilst delving through the family archives, thus confirming that your Dad did in fact enjoy some competitive driving in Texas and neighbouring States
In the meantime could you please confirm your dads full name and give a guide to where in Texas he lived. Hopefully a few of us can check through our files and furnish you with some race History of your Dad and his ( Your) BEX1094. To complement your History file, each little gem helps create the full picture
As you find new information can you please update this thread and email details to Tim Isles the official ACOC Ace Bristol Registrar .. .. ..
tim_isles@hotmail.com Good Luck with the Restoration of BEX1094, Should you require any information or parts please do not hesitate to ask, there are plenty of ACOC members on both sides of the pond that have spare parts, access to suppliers and years of knowledge .
What a great retirement Project and great way to remember your Dad ... .. .. a bonus to the AC Owners Club / Ace Bristol Register, We learn of the survival of another Ace Bristol that had fallen off the radar after leaving Thames Ditton back in December 1959.
