All,
   
   I have re-entered all the data and added all the updates emailed to me over the last few months. So over Xmas just finishing off. If you have any updates for the register please contact me via email or my details are in Action.
   
   I would like to get the latest information in the next Action. Also I may get it finished over Xmas all the parts I have for Aceca's and Ace's Brooklands, including some pictures of a chassis and some of the factory bucks for information.
   
   Anyway for now, wishing everyone a happy Xmas and Great new year!
   
   Thanks
   
   John.

All Ace / Aceca Brookland Owners
   
   I'm just finishing off the register, please let me know if you have an Ace/Aceca Brooklands so I can keep the register up to date.
   
   Thanks

All,
   
   It is that time again, the sprint is on the 6th Nov 2010 at Goodwood. If you want to enter or assist, please email me at john_abel289@hotmail.com.
   
   I would like to see more AC's in the sprint this year!
   
   Thanks
   
   John.

All,
   
   if you have an Ac Ace Brooklands that you would like to offer for a photo shot in C&SC magazine please contact me on john_abel289@hotmail.com.
   
   It is rare the Ace Brooklands gets any press, so this will help the cars visibility.
   
   John,

All,
   
   Recently I took over the register for Brookland Ace and Aceca. If you own one, would like to know about the car. I will pulling it all together for ACtion. Can you email me details on john_abel289@hotmail.com or contact me via the ACtion inside cover.
   
   Thanks

Ok, here we go, what was the rarest AC produced. Looking for the specific mark, rather than a variant. I will start proceedings
   
   Ac Aceca Brooklands - 4 cars produced (2 demo cars, 1 Chassis and one written off during the Brooklands fire).
   
   Lets see what turns up! [:)]

   Just over a month to go, as it is the 60th anniversary of the ACOC I would like to increase the number of AC's at the event. If you need a form or would like to take part. If you need any information please contact me on john_abel289@hotmail.com
   
   Kind Regards
   
   John.

All,
   
   Like last year entry to the ACOC sprint will start on the 1st Sept, I plan to send out entry forms to all last year runners! Would be great to see more AC's and better weather.
   
   If you would like copies of the ASR and entry form email me at john_abel289@hotmail.com
   
   Thanks

Hi,
   
   My drivers window on my ac ace brooklands needs to be replaced, I have a question. Speaking to Starglass [who produced the original window] there are two sizes [4mm thick or 5mm thick] does anyone know why the difference. It would seem the later cars have the 5mm. So I assume production issue with the earlier cars.
   
   Also has anyone tried a 5mm window in a 4mm original car?
   
   Any help welcome!

All,
   
   If you want to have a nice day out [I hope in the Sun!!] Brooklands have added the AC Owners Club to the list of invited Club's. This means an AC Owner Club Member with any AC can get in via the pre-1973 entrance [e.g. park inside]. Pre-war and Pre-1973 cars can park in front of the main building. The rest will park up towards the track. If you wish to go then please take your membership card with you, also entry price for pre-1973 cars will be Adults £6,  Seniors £5,  Children £4, 5 & under are free.
   
   Anyway, been each year good event some nice cars. I hope to see you there, not in the Aceca this year, but an Ac Ace Brooklands.
   
   John.

All,
   
   I have taken over from Clive Bowyer who has done an excellent job, I just hope I can run the sprint to the same level [if possible] this year. I opened up the entry on the 1st of Sept. So if you want to attend or even enter the event then email for more information or forms at the following
   
   john_abel289@hotmail.com
   
   The event will be at Goodwood Motor Circuit on the 1st of Nov 2008.
   
   Many Thanks
   
   John.

What an excellent day out, some shots of the action. Only went for a couple of hours.

Hi,
   
   Does anyone know the thread size of nut for the handbrake cable that goes into the handbrake end?
   
   Thanks
   
   John.

After 2 years, the restore of my Aceca is nearly complete. I have attached some photos [:D] I hope you like the car. Jobs to complete:
   
   Water pipes,
   Oil Pressure
   Oil
   Accelerate Cable
   Tune

The car is nearly complete, it will be off next week to get the interior done, once back a custom exhaust system will be fitted. I have attached some pictures, tyres/wheels will be returned to original. Glass, etc. will be fitted last. Also the engine is now complete and fitted with the Reece Fish carbs. Inner wheel arch on each side will be fitted once exhaust is complete.
   
   
   
   
   
   

Hi,
   
   Just wondering if anyone knows if another car has the same inner door lock as the Ac Aceca. I'm missing one for the drivers door (well someone lost it!). I think an early ford may be the same lock.
   
   Can anyone help me?
   
   Thanks
   
   John

Just thought you guys may like to see the current position of my Aceca restore. The car has nearly been completed [do not worry about the rear flat, old tyres]
   
   Anyway, put the dash in last night (temporary for the moment, need to align the steering. Next stage is putting the Engine and gearbox back in. The car will be running a Zephyr engine + Reece Fish Carbs.
   
   The car has been restored from bottom to top by a good friend who runs F H Ellis (http://www.fhellis.com/) and Graham Bates [GB Eng.]. Once complete (next few months) will post the final build.
