Last post by B.P.Bird - August 11, 2026, 19:46:43Glen,
There was a time when some 'screens were available from Tyneside Glass in Gateshead. Maybe worth an enquiry ? You can only ask.
One rather suspects that your main cost will be transport ?

Last post by Glen Smytheman - August 09, 2026, 04:16:33Hi all from New Zealand,
We are looking to get some spare windscreens into NZ (2x Aceca round corner and 1x Ace curved screen). Cost looks to be about GBP500 each from Pilkington Classics. I just wanted to check if anyone has sourced elsewhere that they would recommend. Many thanks, Glen

Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / L81 1933 16/56 Drophead Coupe
Last post by AEX146 - August 06, 2026, 11:08:41For reference L81 a 1933 16/56 sold at the recent Brightwells Auction for £1300.
The car is disassembled and in boxes and in need of total restoration with only some work on the chassis having been undertaken. A great project which will take years even for someone with the skill, patience and pocket for it.

Mk IV, Superblower, CRS and other Continuation Cars Forum / Re: Rubber buffer for MK IV bo...
Last post by westcott - August 04, 2026, 23:11:14You have a PM, we can talk about all parts for a MK IV.
You can click the letter box icon go to inbox and read your PM. A call or WhatsApp is faster.
The bumper measurements are important.
-Heigt from aluminum body to top of bumper
-base diameter
-top diameter
-hole size in body
I saw different bumpers on MK IVs.
Mine has lower bumpers, height 6.5mm, dia 7.4mm, more or less cylindrical,
snap/hole area dia 6.4mm.
Others have a deeper hood flange and higher conical shape like yours. I had AK 1067 and AK 2002 here in my Cobra Spa and they had the conical bumpers.

Well Done Bob & Team.
At least 18 AC's parked in front of the "Dallas Burston Polo Club Hotel" on Saturday and at least 47 AC's lined up in two rows at Gaydon Motor Museum for Sundays National Day
The relocation of the designated ACOC parking area at Gaydon was a bonus as it offered much appreciated shade.
Great to catch up with members both Old and New, May the Camaraderie continue and new members be accepted with open arms.

Last post by jrlucke - August 02, 2026, 03:50:25Robin's AC is included in the upcoming Gooding-Christie's Pebble Beach auction:
https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/ac/ace/1962/1112803
I saw it regularly at the SCCA races in Tucson Arizona in the mid 1960's. Hope it finds another loving home.
Unfortunately my racing images are from too far away.

Last post by AC Ace Bristol - July 29, 2026, 23:59:07Re: Robin Grove Video.
A great Video on the History of Robin Groves Ace Bristol "BEX1213", also Covers Cobras and Daytona,
ACOC Ace 60th Anniversary Race at Silverstone. and AC Thames Ditton
Puts faces to well known names on both sides of the Pond..
Make a coffee or open a bottle of wine and settle down to a very interesting 45 minute Video.
Sent the link to Terry Webb a couple of weeks ago for inclusion in ACtion for those ACOC members who do not visit the Club Forum.
