This 1957 AC Ace Bristol was once owned by our good friend, Ernie Mendicki. Chassis No. BE326, has been a race car its entire life. Original owner, Bill Bradshaw, competed in many club races (including an 8th overall at Spa in 1959) and hillclimbs throughout Europe in the late fifties and early sixties. At some point in the late sixties the car was brought to the United States heavily damaged. In 1978, the car was bought by Alf Norman. Together, Alf Norman and Ernie Mendicki completely restored BE326 to the car you see here. The Ace was subsequently raced throughout the west coast in CSRG and HMSA historic events in the 80s and early 90s as well as six appearances at the Monterey Historic Automobile Races. In 2004 the Ace appeared at The Quail - A Motorsports Gathering.
