AC Aceca Bristol Wanted to Buy - Thank you all I have found an Aceca Bristol

[Glen Smytheman]

I come from a family that has owned Bristol engined cars for more than 50 years and I have owned an Ace Bristol for more than 23 years (originally BEX272 now BE1175) – more importantly I also have a 15 year old son who has the classic car bug and is already looking to negotiate the age he can start driving the Ace!  I am looking to buy an AC Aceca Bristol and the ideal car would be right hand drive, probably based in UK/Europe (but anywhere in the world is fine), in need of restoration is fine, a car that has been stripped of its Bristol engine and gearbox is also fine.  I am not in a hurry so feel free to make contact even if you are looking to sell in the next year or so.  The plan for this car would be to return it to road going condition, return to Bristol power if required and then the car to be based in the UK and most importantly used.   Please email glen@wbb.co.nz.  I look forward to hearing from you. Glen Smytheman    PS: I have seen the cars for sale on Car and Classic - I am guessing there are other cars out there also looking for new homes where they will be put back on the road and used.

Hi Just a follow up that I have managed to purchase a RHD AC Aceca Bristol today - absolutely wrapped as I was preparing for a 5 year search.

Thanks for looking all.  Glen
