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
« on: September 05, 2011, 15:27:39 »
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.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / Archeology: what is hiding under the paint?
« on: March 26, 2011, 00:00:38 »
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?

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Sociable recently registered in Holland
« on: May 14, 2010, 03:09:53 »
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?

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / YouTube video
« on: August 12, 2009, 17:35:41 »
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.

   There was a topic about this car some time ago.

   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.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / BEX450 for sale
« on: December 22, 2008, 12:44:43 »
Fantasy Junction (yes, them again) have listed BEX450 for sale:
   
   http://www.fantasyjunction.com/cars/738-AC%20ACE-Bristol-Inline%206-Cyl
   
   Asking $275,000. Not a sign of decrease yet but maybe that's not necessary as long as most Aces seem to be selling reasonably quickly when compared to several other cars.

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / AEX1083 for sale in Venezuela
« on: December 12, 2008, 23:45:24 »
Today the BOC (Bristol Owners Club) forum reached the following message through Anthony Spooner:
   
   Dear sirs,
   
   attached are some pictures of an AC BRISTOL that may interest you, the car is in state of restoration and is in Venezuela. If you wish to make an offer, please do not hesitate to contact me.
   
   Yours faithfully,
   
   Alex Menendez

   classic.sport.cars@gmail.com
   
   The Bristol engine 100D 667 currently fitted seems to have its origin in Aceca Bristol BEX 626 which was also exported to Venezuela.
