Chrome wire wheels. Good older repaint and new wiring otherwise origil. D2 Bristol engine. Odometer shows 5,418 miles, which isnt beyond belief.

Market commentary

This Ace Bristol is a $30 40,000 car even if its Bristol D2 engine succeeded an origil AC unit. If its a correct Bristol its worth $10,000 more than that. Who says there arent any bargains at the auction The owner, thats who. Car was unsold and reported in error by Kruse at $20,250 hammer, $21,465 with commission; probably incorrectly recorded on the auctioneers sheet. Actually sold for just over $60,000 to Jim Cox (Branson Auction)
