Thank you Keith I do have those photos & knew Murray Richards. I have sent Simon Bathurst Brown an email. The reference to a US owner is incorrect & the car has since 1970 been with Australian owners all of whom I am aware. The history I particularly want for AE 34 is that between its sale by Roy Standbridge in 1959 till that of Simon Bathurst Brown in 1967.
   Thanks again

FYI I restored both AC Bristols BEX 260 and BEX 312. I purchased both cars from Derek Durst in New Zealand. They were restored in Australia both in RHD with LHD pedal & steering mounts still in place. So a simple conversion back to LHD for BEX 260. BEX 312 I sold RHD with all parts to convert it back to LHD. Both cars were restored in their original colours as delivered to New York in 56/57. I do have some RHD conversion parts if there is any interest. Cheers Terry Healy

I am past owner of a number of AC Ace Bristols & Aceca including BEX 260 and 312. I am looking for history on a 1954 AC Ace #AE 34 which was bought new & raced by Roy Standbridge in 1955-56. Standbridge I believe advertised in Autosport & sold it in 1959. I first bought this car in 2003 and & at the time it was represented to me as raced also in 1959 by Bob Staples. In books there are no indications of this though Staples did run AC cars where the identity is not recorded. Would any forum members have any records of this cars history & or Bob Staples ownership?
   Thank you
