BE 368 raced extensively for many years originally campaigned by John Anstis JA5 ready to drive next spring having been fully mechanically restored during the last 12 months by Hawker Racing

Is this car for sale or are you just telling us about it? ;) 

Emjo

No the car is not for sale more of an information update on a Ace with many years race history in the hope some members might recall it racing back in the day.

BE 368 returned to its original factory colour

Nice to see
Do you have a heater set up
If so can you post a couple of pics
I just bought my Aceca and mine is missing

The heater set up in Ace and Aceca is not identical so be careful. Best would be the heater set up in another Aceca and I believe even there is a difference between earlier and later cars. There are a few pictures in Original Ace, Aceca & Cobra.

Unless there were two possible blues, that is the color BEX 241 was new and when I got it in 1961.  My memory is that it was a just little darker.
I painted it two other colors later (red and BRG), but wish I had stayed with that one.
It was totally consumed by fire in 1992, but is shown here several years later with what seems a choice of hues:
