Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

RHD, 2553cc race prepared Ford like the later RS 2.6 Aces, racing windscreen and side windows. 17th overall, 1st in class at 57 Sebring but with a Bristol 100D engine. Rebuilt from a tired husk and race ready.

Market commentary

This car failed to sell at Brooks Goodwood sale last month where its estimate was $66 99,000. We felt then that it might be worth $50K to an AC enthusiast; the estimate here was $57 69,000 and it sold for $54,625 before commission.
