AC ACE- Changes Made during Production.

[AC Ace Bristol]

To Follow on from Wilhelm and Barry Bird's query regards the date / chassis number that AC Cars Ltd   changed the Fuel Filler Cap specification from Monza to Ceandess Lozenge shape Fuel Filler Cap.
   
   Thought it best to start a new thread regards some Changes made during early  production of the AC ACE.......[;)]
   
   AC Cars changed many items during the early production of the Ace, as a rough guide many changes seem to have occoured between AE60 and AE75 .. ..[?].
   
   e.g.
   The Fuel Filler Cap.
   Rear lights from single round to rectangular light.
   Early style of over-rider to the Standard 8/10 and Ford Style.
   The boot lock from Wilmot Breedon chrome escutcheon ( Budget Lock) to the T-handle.
   Brass Chassis Plate to Aluminium Chassis Plate.
   Long Boot to Short boot (BEX265 Long Boot /  BEX267 Short Boot..BEX266 ..[?].
   
   To list just a few changes..[;)]
   
   The only way the Ace Registrars and those restoring  early Aces can accurately record these change over dates and /or change by Chassis number is for owners to post data and pictures on this thread.
   With their knowledge and help especially if their Ace is unmolested and still believed to be wearing original fixtures and fittings, we can ammend records and restore more faithfully..[:)]
   
   Tim Isles the Ace Bristol Registrar has already started to compile data and would welcome new information and photgraphic evidence to assist those wishing to maintain authenticity and/or correct various changes made during earlier restoration projects when such facts were insignificant.
