Hello all,
   
   Happy new year to all members and AC Bristol fans, looking forward to seeing many of you at Le Mans Classic in July...
   
   For today a very nice little video from Girling Company, shot during the 1959 Le Mans 24 Hours. Be watchful at 5'20", I have posted it to John Deveson and he has never seen before such a long piece of video of 650 BPK.

As a very amateur model builder I have been researching the Gachnang Aigle AC and have found a RACE TIME photo of #30 with the "VD2065" plate clearly readable. This can be found on the //revslib.stanford.edu/ site - with patient trawling through the results of a search for "le mans 1960". It was taken by George Phillips and copyright is reserved.
   I hope this is helpful.

[Dodo]

In 1958 at le Mans the two AC LM 5000 and BEX 399 own a special Bristol engine
100 D2 / S what are the special specification of this motor ?

[TTM]

There is another Ace Bristol that came with a 100 D2/S + another letter, as stamped on its block and as mentioned in the printout of the scutineering at Le Mans.

As for internals... some say it has rods made of kryptonite and a crankshaft in unobtanium, all honed to perfection over a 200 year process by elves who live on the dark side of Neptune...
