Are you a ACOC Member ? Are you the owner or are your restoring BEX1169 on behalf of a customer ?
The Ace Bristol Register confirms that BEX1169 left Thames Ditton for D L Works / France on 20th October 1960, painted Black Pearl with Red interior.
Engine number should read 100D2 1070, the gearbox number should be the same or very close. Correct Dash Complete with optional Oil Temp gauge.
The club records read, owned since 1972 . EX Roundling 67, Student. Hamilton, Hunt 72. Derelict for 25 years. Current owner listed as L J Hunt..Canada.
The only pictures I have of BEX1169 are dated 1973 when the Ace was painted White, These two pictures of BEX1169, are confirmed by text on reverse side of photos " BEX1169 1973 ", These were supplied via Brian Gilbart - Smith who started ACOC Ace Bristol Register. and made regular visits to Thames Ditton to hand copy the AC Cars Build Bible of Ace Bristols.
