American historian needs front 3/4 picture and dashboard shots of a "long nose" 2.6 Ace from the Goodwood display in July. Here's the description of the AC focus from a PR release I received today. Anybody who sends me a digital image on a disc, colour slides or old fashioned colour prints. In return, I can send misc. b & w Cobra pics from "back in the day"

GOODWOOD RACES FROM 0-60 IN 850 YEARS
Dear Motor Sport Enthusiast,
With just over two weeks to go until the 2008 Festival of Speed gets underway (11-13 July), Goodwood is getting into celebratory mode as it prepares to mark a number of significant motor sport and automotive anniversaries at the event, including Goodwood’s own 60th anniversary since motor racing began at the famous West Sussex venue in 1948. A selection of the many anniversaries being recognised at the 2008 Festival of Speed will include:
100 Years:
1908 French GP: For the first time since the famous 1908 French Grand Prix, a record number of the actual cars that competed in that race will be together again at the Festival.
Ian Fleming: Celebrated British author and James Bond creator would have been 100 this year. To mark this fact, we will be gathering a selection of well-known cars used by 007 in various Bond movies as part of the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe.’ Confirmed cars present will include his Aston Martin DB5 with ejector seat from Goldfinger and the Lotus Esprit ‘submarine’ from The Spy Who Loved Me.
AC: The Centenary of AC will be honoured with a display of important models from the ex-Thames Ditton specialist car maker lined-up along the dunhill Driver’s Club ‘Walk of Fame’.
Ford Model T: Production of the Model
