About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Raced at Sebring in 1955 as an AC-engined Ace, 4th in class driven by Joseph Dressel and William Woodbury. Acquired by Frank and Mary Morgan in 1958 and eventually re-engined with a Buick 215 V8. Stored from 1968-2006, restored by specialists with a new engine but the original engine is included. Very good paint, no stone chips. Good upholstery. Mixed gauges. Clean and attractive but the hood was locked. Physically very good and an interesting window on what a Cobra might have been.

Market commentary

This price would not acquire a good 100D2 Ace Bristol with period racing history and the decision whether this Ace Special is more or less desirable has been left up to the bidders who spoke with their paddles and pocketbooks. By all reasonable measures it is a solid value in a well-restored car with a good history.
