   If it did reach the guide price it would be a high point, at least at auction for an AC engined car, and its not MM eligible either.
   
   Also this Cobra CSX 2119:

   (If you fancy spending a bit(!) more try this which will likely beat all previous records, with an estimate of >$50m:

A '58 (registered '59) would be expected to have front discs and indeed the blurb so claims.
   But does it?

Looks like Drums

   I believe Front Disc Brakes on the AC engined and Bristol engined Ace were Optional as from mid/late 1957.
   Discs were standard on 2.6 Ace and possibly towards end of Ace AC/Bristol manufacture,  Tim Isles or Tony Bancroft hopefully can confirm.
