This AC Ace Bristol Roadster was originally constructed with the six-cylinder AC engine, prior to the availability of the Bristol motor option. Though the car was built in 1955, it is titled as a 1956 model. Later in the car's life, it was retrofitted with the 120-horsepower 100D2 Bristol engine and transmission. The current owner purchased the car in February of 1986. The car rides on its original 48-spoke, silver-painted, 16-inch wire wheels with new tires, and has its correct banjo steering wheel.
In 2011, the car was offered for sale at the Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $135,000 - $175,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $148,500, including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2011
