General Forum / I have Documents for owner of AC Aceca BEX 652
« on: August 05, 2007, 12:00:08 »
I almost bought this car on eBay in 2001 as a restoration project. However I was outbid in the last minute of the auction.
   The restored car was offered in the June 2007 issue of ACtion by the well known German AC enthusiast Arwed Otto (and his son Mike).
   I don't know if it's already sold but if it is Mr. Otto surely can put you in touch with the new owner. If not, I'm sure he will be very glad to receive this extra piece of documented history on his car.
   I can give you his phone number by e-mail in case you don't have access to it.

By Jonathan Bradburn.
   This engine was originally fitted to the well known ACE 24 (BE 296).

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / BE 639 for sale on eBay

This Aceca project is currently for sale on eBay. Fitted with a Zephyr engine with Raymond Mays head replacing the original Bristol engine 100D 744 which was sold! I don't believe something like that would easily happen these days.

Using modern (or old) technology is there any way to find some evidence of a starting number ever having been applied under the current layer of paint on a car?
   My Ace was resprayed somewhere between 1964 and 1970 (probably before 1968) and the original paint is still there under it. I am not sure if that is the case on every part of the car but I would think so.
   Presumably the car had SCCA racing history before that time. Unfortunately until now it has not been possible to verify this. There is only written "evidence" in a 1970 article pointing to this. A racing number might provide a lead as usually entrants raced using the same number for several races. It would make sense not having to change your number before every race if you were a regular entrant.
   Of course you could strip the body to bare aluminium but there is a time for everything and even in doing so you might destroy any evidence if you don't know what you are doing just like in archeology.
   Any suggestions on how to approach this matter?

I just found out that a Dutch registration was recently issued for a Sociable.
   The plate number is AM-95-33 which was issued 3 March 2010.
   Does anyone have an idea which example this might be?

Use this link to a quite nice video of the 14th Vernasca Silver Flag in an AC Ace. Sounds Bristol engined? But which car is it? RHD, colour some kind of Gunmetal. There shouldn't be too many cars fitting this description.

   BTW BEX1126 is again for sale on eBay after failing its reserve price last year. At least this time the seller doesn't keep the asking price a secret: US$ 80,000. Bidding is up to almost 50% of that sum.
