« on: July 23, 2018, 10:29:22 »
I have quite a few useful and rare bits to dispose of. Rather than try and list them in detail here I will just say what and leave people to contact me by PM (or use Ace registrar contact details in Action) if interested, and I will send full details and photos:

L/H door (Ace), 5 x 56 spoke 16" wires, ENV 14/51 diff, Exh manifolds, AC head + rockers,/valves/springs, Distributor, Liner and other gaskets, Front and rear bumper tubes, Flywheel, door 'locks'/strikers

Ace, Aceca & Greyhound Forum / AE 01 to auction
« on: April 23, 2018, 20:12:24 »
I have decided its time for a change having owned UPJ 75 for a mere 49 years, so it should appear from tomorrow on the Bonhams website for the FoS auction on July 13th, yes its a Friday! No doubt there will be feeds out to other websites.
That auction already has a  number of high profile cars like the Aston Zagato 2 VEV, another long term ownership car. Hopefully UPJ won't be lost amongst them all.
Apart from the first Ace built the car, as many will know, has a huge competition, road test etc history, so the auction route, although very public, was felt to be the only practical one for a car like this.
Firstly, of course, there's no done deal with an auction, but if things go to plan I would definitely buy another car, could it be an AC? Maybe, and I must admit I've always had a soft spot for a 2.6, although an early Cobra would be lovely!
It's going to be an interesting few weeks....

« on: April 20, 2017, 18:49:44 »
I have had a contact from South Africa asking for help in contacting John Abel. the phone number in Action seems to be wrong!
   
   Basically a customer of a preparation business there is looking for an alloy Brooklands Mk1 road wheel to help a restoration.
   
   Anyone have any ideas where a wheel might come from please, and I can pass the info on?
