RHD. Chrome spoke wire wheels, double tube chrome bumpers. Restored in 1993 and meticuluously maintained since in excellent condition for the age of its restoration. Good paint, better chrome and upholstery.

Market commentary

Sold by Brooks at Goodwood in July 2001 for GBP 31,050 ($43,799) in essentially the same condition as it was offered here, the near tripling in value (in both pounds and dollars) is indicative of the increasing appreciation which collectors have for AC powered Aces, appreciation which brought a healthy price today even in the face of the troubled economy.
