Keith, thanks for the information.

I am not an ACOC member, but my client here in Victoria BC is. I have a stack of the lastest ACtions sitting here by my side. Me and my father run the last remaining British car repair shop in town (owenauto.ca) and I extend the welcome to all ACOC members to visit in Sidney, BC. We are about to disassemble the engine and I am very interested in suppliers of seals and gaskets for the Bristol 100D2 engine.

Very much looking forward to talking with Tim Isles about his great work. My e-mail is supercars@gmail.com if anyone wants to reach me. Finding the RCAF pilot that first bought the car would be fantastic.

We do have two photos of car when it was white and used by the Hunt's as their wedding car.

Hi thanks for including me as part of your community.

As the title suggests we are about to finish the restoration of BEX1169 as started by Lorrie Hunt over 15 years ago. Once we start to assemble the car I hope to share it with the world on YouTube.

I believe this AC was Black on Red, first ordered in France by an RCAF pilot and eventually found it's way over to Vancouver.

It's going to be quite the project. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions along the way.
