This AC Ace Bristol has had only one owner for the past 45 years. It was purchased by its owner just after completing his studies at Yale. The car he purchased was one of the last chassis produced.
Since that time, the car has been well preserved. It has been regularly driven and enjoyed. It has its original sealed-beam headlights, accessory Lucas lamps, and many original AC parts, some still in their original boxes. The car has its original factory-supplied export spares kit, top, tonneau, and side curtains.
Power is from a 1971cc six-cylinder engine fitted with triple Solex carburetors. The car produces 128 horsepower which is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox. In the front are Girling disc brakes with drums in the rear.
The car was offered for sale at the 2010 Gooding & Company auction held at Amelia Island, Florida. It was estimated to sell for $275,000 - $325,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $280,500, inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2010
