Today I had an unbelievable discovery re the history of BEX402. An email was fowarded to me from a mechanic who worked for the US importer of my Ace, Jay Chamberlain Automotive here in Burbank, Calif in 1958. He was sure he knew this car because it was damaged (oil pan only) while "borrowing" it after hours to race in the LA River (concrete channel) after which he was fired then rehired. We talked today and Jay Chamberlain only had two Aces while he was there...a blue one and a red one. Then came the best news, BEX402 was the car used in a 1959 movie called "On The Beach" with Gregory Peck, Fred Astaire, etc. I am ordering the movie on dvd but apparently the car was promiently featured with roll bar in some racing clips. Will update this once the movie is in hand. Jay Chamberlain also had a huge roll in racing history, mostly Lotus, and the Hollywood car guys in those days.
