Market commentary

Ace Bristols are preferred over the AC engined Aces but some allege the 1919 designed single overhead camshaft AC engine is effectively as good as the 30s designed BMW 328 that Bristol licensed. The price difference, however, is substantial, $5 10,000. Even taking that difference into account, this AC engined Ace is well bought and a very good value.
