2009 Ace for sale
« on: September 22, 2017, 10:20:59 »
Just seen a 2009 Ace for sale and wondered if anyone knows it’s history?
   
   Presumably it was built up out of a pile of parts ?
   
   Reg is AC08 ACE

There is a post in PistonHeads dated 2010.
   
   https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=802846
   
   It showed pictures of the build and stated that the chassis was rescued from the factory fire. Pictures aren't there now, thanks to 'Photo Bucket'  but the narrative is.

The car is known to the register. This is DE1105 which was one of the last cars on the factory line, was nearly complete. Before Mark Kendall purchased and concluded the build. Graham, if you have more information would be keen to hear to update the register. I've tracked down 10 Mk2 Ac Ace Brooklands now, I know there must be a few more. I found a completed chassis without number.

What would you like to know that isn't already on the register?
