Equipment
100D engine with triple Solex carbs and replacement head, white painted wire wheels, blackwall tires. Scuffed old repaint, otherwise original. Cracked but sound old upholstery with dead padding. Cracked old Michelin X tires. Known single owner from the Fifties until the present. Almost too good to restore but unfortunately not good enough to drive.
Market commentary
All things can be forgiven in the case of a car thats been owned, driven and enjoyed for decades, especially one as pretty as an Ace Bristol. This is restored Ace Bristol money, but the new owner got much more in both history and bragging rights. It would be a shame to restore it, not to mention a financial drubbing.
