   . A great period picture of BEX387, Showing just a little body damage, This Ace Bristol had a heavy life, most pictures I have  record multiple contact both front,
   rear and even rolled it.
   
   Owned and Driven by Pierre Mion to great success,  winning the SCCA 1959 Class E production,  4th in SCCA 1960 Class D production
   and winning SCCA 1961 C production.

   
   Pierre Mion sold this (BEX387) red Ace Bristol during 1960 to  Hank Merguer and continued to compete in SCCA events with BEX387 until replacing it with his dark blue Ace Bristol (BEX1155)which he developed to win the 1961 SCCA C production class.
   
   For more detailed information please refer to pages 162 & 163 of "Ace Bristol Racing" by John Mclellan & Tony Bancroft.. ISBN 0 9534680 0 3.
   
   Will try to get some period pictures posted during the week..[;)]
