Thames Ditton Pictures, 1960-ish?

I found these photo's tucked away and thought I should share them. The first lot is obviously comprised of chassis shots. Apologies for the quality of the pictures, this is what they look like.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   As some of the other phot's show both Bristol and Ford Engines, this must narrow the date down a bit, though the pictures may of course have been taken at different times.

Thanks a lot. Very interesting.
   The car in the last photo is clearly identifiable as Ace 2.6 RS5023.

Peter,
   Thanks for posting the pics, there are some interesting things in them. The footboxes that are on RS5023 look like they are aluminum, I thought the 2.6s came with black fiberglass boxes???

Jay, looking at the 2nd picture down the footboxes do seem to be fibreglass. I would suggest the bottom picture shows heatshielding/sound insulation with a aluminium foil covering.
   Perhaps.
