History

We are delighted to present one of only 463 genuine AC Ace Bristols, chassis BEX 1042, for sale. The car was delivered new in 1959 with left-hand drive. Initially owned by a collector from Lyon whom we know, it joined the private collection of its current owner in 2013. The car is well known to AC members; BEX 1042 has always been meticulously maintained and is now one of the finest examples to be found on the European market.

General state

The original Bristol 933D2 engine has been refurbished by Tony Byford, one of Europe's most renowned AC specialists. The gearbox, overdrive and brakes are in perfect working order. The car has just undergone a full service. The aluminium bodywork is in very good condition overall, with a few minor flaws visible in the photo gallery. The light grey metallic paintwork looks good, as does the chrome. The 4-speed gearbox with overdrive is coupled to a 2.0-litre Bristol 6-cylinder engine producing around 125 bhp (Type 100 D2), powered by three Solex carburettors. An additional electric fan has been added and the radiator has been refurbished.

The original upholstery has been completely redone in beautiful red leather. The red carpets and rugs have also been replaced. The car comes with its navy blue tonneau cover, red soft top with frame and original equipment (spare wheel, Tecalemit grease pump). The underbody is in perfect condition. The car is fitted with four Spax shock absorbers and the AVON tyres are approximately 30% worn. The car has participated in several events, including the Rallye des Princesses. It is fully eligible for other events such as the Mille Miglia, Le Mans Classic and the Tour Auto. The car can be viewed by appointment and a recent expert report is available.

The vehicle description comes from the information transmitted by the seller who remains solely responsible for the state of the vehicle. CarJager checks their consistency.

Jonathan Darmon, very professional and attentive. A wonderful experience with CarJager. I bought a car that was exactly as described in their advert. No surprises with CarJager. I highly recommend them.
