Messages - Aceca Bristol

#1
Does anyone know the chassis number of the Aceca Bristol recently offered by RM?  And what was the venue and date of the auction - a direct link to the lot would be best.

Consequent on this topic and as Aceca Bristol registrar, I can say that the register entry for BE 751 (specifically the Subsequent History) has remained unchanged for years - way before my tenure.  However, the date for the engine swop is clearly incorrect for on checking the file there is a letter dated October 1978 from a previous keeper, who states that he has owned the car for some years, it having been acquired as an unfinished project complete with the Daimler V8 engine and Jaguar gearbox.  It is reasonable to suppose that the original engine 100D2 1039 had suffered some major catastrophe during the late 60'/early 70's - who knows!  As at the time of writing, Antoine Prunet has confirmed that the cylinder head fitted to this "Ace" is 100D2 1039, but as yet there is no evidence as to whether it is still united with the original block; possibly not; perhaps Antoine will investigate further.
   
   As to that fake BEX 222 chassis plate with engine number 100D2 1038, I can confirm that that engine was originally fitted to and still is with BE 752
