A good friend of mine(let's call him Bob) just acquired an AC Ace-Bristol,
ser.# BEX332, engine # 663D. The car was severely damaged by fire recently,
which motivated the previous owner of 35 years to sell. Bob wants to restore
this car as his personal driver. He has extensive experience restoring most
everything British, but The AC is new to him. The body is gone, as is the
interior. The chassis, engine, transmission and most of the suspension is
salvagable. It would be a shame to part out the car. We at the Purple Lips
Racing Team are going to help Bob restore the car. Could anyone direct us
to reliable sources of parts, advice, etc.? Also, what is the proper name
for this car? Is it an Ace, a Bristol, an Ace-Bristol or what?
