Ruddspeed site up and running

[redranch]

The new Ruddspeed site is up and running, so if you own/owned a Ruddspeed car, have story on about Ken or Ruddspeed car then it would be great to hear about them and see photos.
   
   www.ruddspeed.com or our facebook page www.facebook.com/ruddspeed
   
   Many Thanks

Peter,
   Excellent site and I have to admit I never knew Ken Rudd was involved with Mustangs. Do you have any more info on the modifications or number of Mustangs modified over the years? Also, was the Ruddspeed chassis number required because of the LHD to RHD modification?
   Thanks,

Hi Jay, thanks for the comments. We only know of 2 Mustang conversions at the moment, one being the 69 convertible listed on the website, and we heard of a complete car that's in a private collection, but no more information at the moment. There are a few ads and articles from period magazines also on the website and FB page.
   
   He also modified a Pontiac Firebird to RHD and we think a Lamborghini Miura too! The chassis numbers didn't change, but Ruddspeed added a serial number to identify the car, just the same as they'd been doing on the Volvo Amazons, AC's, Austin Healey's and other cars.
   
   Thanks

Peter.
   
   Good idea.  Lets hope you receive period and current data on all the ruddspeed ACs.
   
   To help start you off, have dropped you a file of 100 or so pictures of RuddSpeed Ace & Acecas. Made life easy for you as they are in chronological order by  Chassis  number..[;)]
   
   Interesting that Ruddspeed were also involved with Mustangs etc. Maybe worth contacting Alan Faulkner Stevens as he might have some archive material.
   
   Cheers...
