   Prices are still creeping up a bit but maybe it's reflecting its condition when compared to similar cars offered before.
   As usual, more (and better) pictures will follow after its arrival at their premises.

Hi Jerry
   
   Interesting that BEX260 has now been converted back to LHD,  as photos dated October 2007 show BEX260 along side BEX312,  both  painted white,converted to RHD and under going Red interior trimming.
   
   Who & Why convert back again ??  Yes, Bigger market for LHD & back to origonal spec, makes sense.  Maybe some one out there has a new RHD dash, Pedal Box & pedals which could be of interest to someone restoring a project car.
   
   I Will email the relevent pic to you jerry.
   
   Cheers

Hi

Congratulations, Maurits, & welcome to the ACOC forum!
   You could try to recreate this picture, just need someone with a Morgan?

Likewise Maurits, congratulations on your purchase.
   I am also from the Netherlands. Of course I would like to see the car sometime. There is a small group of AC owners (including Ace and Aceca) in our country and maybe it would be nice to meet up in the future as we have done before.
   Please don't hesitate to inform us forum readers and contributors about anything you consider to be of interest or ask questions.
   I know BEX260 has gone through the hands of the same guy (Derek Durst) who owned my car before.
   I have a few pictures of BEX260 during its restoration in Australia, one of them standing next to BEX312, sharing the same colour combination.

FYI I restored both AC Bristols BEX 260 and BEX 312. I purchased both cars from Derek Durst in New Zealand. They were restored in Australia both in RHD with LHD pedal & steering mounts still in place. So a simple conversion back to LHD for BEX 260. BEX 312 I sold RHD with all parts to convert it back to LHD. Both cars were restored in their original colours as delivered to New York in 56/57. I do have some RHD conversion parts if there is any interest. Cheers Terry Healy

Hi
   
   Car has arrived and all went OK.
   No dammage, drives beautifully and seems to haven been well restored.

Congrats again!
   Seems to have been a smooth transaction all in all.
   It would be nice to meet up sometime to view the car if that's okay with you. What area do you live? I live in the centre of the country which is small anyway as we all know.
   
   Before we had a yearly meeting of the Dutch ACOC members but I haven't received an invitation for a few years in a row, the last meeting I know of (and attended) was in Feb. 2005.
   I was thinking of getting in touch with Kok Louwen to see if we can rejuvenate this old tradition.
