Hi Keith and thanks for posting this for me. I am the person looking for history info on my car, AEX125, and in my search of the last 5 years I recently found a picture of Ak Miller in an Ace at the Bonneville Salt Flats where he set a land speed record. As you stated below, the only picture I have found looks similar to my car, but I cannot tell for sure. As a bit of a clarification, the car is a long boot Ace so I believe it to be an earlier car but am not sure of what year exactly. As for my car, it is not a long lost one as I was a member of the AC club when I first bought it, but let my membership lapse. I do want to say my primary goal is to find the history of AEX125, and I am not sure if it is the Ak Miller record holder. If new info has surfaced to the AC club since I was a member, I would be very grateful for it. When I sent a query to the Ace registar in 2000, I heard nothing back so I assumed there was no historical information available. All I know about the car is it started life black with red trim and was shipped to the US on Feb 16, 1956 and supposedly modified to accept a ford V8 in the early '60s. I bought the car from Don Davis in 2000 (he was the one who said it modofied in the '60s) and he bought the car in the early '90s which leaves a very large gap I am trying to fill in.
Thanks in advance to anyone that can fill in any of the holes.

PS When redoing the dash, I found the name K. Stettorier on the back of the glove box door if that provides a clue to anyone.
