Ace engine on B.A. T.
« on: March 04, 2021, 04:53:06 »
An Ace engine has appeared on Bring A Trailer. Not a lot of info supplied, and looks a bit rough.

They could at least have cleaned it up, many of the comments on web site are clearly wrong, if it was a good running engine it would be worth an owner of an Ace to pick it up for a sensible price!

Robin (or anyone else) - any idea what a 'sensible' price would be?

$1,000-$1,500 would be worth more if the accessories were included.
Hope Ace Owner is putting a replacement Weller Engine In it? Don't know why Seller is not keeping the engine with the car!

Robin, I agree! Unless the person who bought the engine always AE90, the car it came out of, I don’t get the price. Maybe auction fever.
