Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Good, fresh paint, interior and chrome. Competently restored to driver condition underhood and chassis. Built with the AC engine and later upgraded to 100D2 Bristol power with the current Bristol 100D2 engine fitted during its recent restoration. Polished stainless spoke wire wheels, top, side curtains, tonneau cover.

Market commentary

This transaction puts the $153,900 paid for the unrestored barn find AC Bristol at Auburn two weeks later into perspective. While this isnt the way this Ace came from Thames Ditton it is a sound value at this price, which adequately compromises the design and desirability with its mixed parentage.
