There appears to be a vintage AC at about 29:20 in this video, although the wheels and body do look rather odd!

While searching for something completely different I came across this you tube video.
The commentary is truly awful, but scroll through to 29:40 for the car.  I think the video must be a few years old.

Many congratulations, the dash looks wonderful too, is it the original?

Thank you for that information. Regarding the photo, David Hescroff tells me “ the photo shows PK6322 - the Montlhery record car with its 4 seat body put on to enter the Brooklands Double Twelve Race in 1930. It is a very interesting shot (I have a copy of it) because the other car is Ray Morley in PH8013 with the Montlhery record car's original body which Ray bought from Mollart. “
David reckons that 5 cars may have been built with that body style.

Is this the same "Montlhery" that was used in the record run?  AC did rebody the car (the body being subsequently acquired by Ray Morley), do we know how many "Montlhery" style bodied cars were made?

I note the following comment on the Anglia auction site. “ We have chosen not to publish our results. Please contact us directly for any enquiries.”
I find this most odd!
Anyone happen to know what region of prices the AC’s went for?

I notice that in the recently publicised Palman collection in Holland is an AC Aceca, registered 282EOH. It looks to have lain untouched for many years.

Sadly the Bentley site (which I think is great) is no longer being updated as the “owner” of the site decided to retire. Hopefully what is there will remain for a while, but sadly will then be lost.

I don’t know where paho is based, it would be interesting to know where and why the suggested site could be threatening.

Interesting set of photos, I see they say “1919” and “only car of it’s kind” are either of those comments likely to be true?
