1957 AC Ace Bristol – Ex-Ken Rudd Team Car, Spa Racer, Fully Documented
Factory-delivered as a Ken Rudd “Ruddspeed” team car with period European competition pedigree, including appearances at Spa and the 1958 12 Hours of Reims, this Ace Bristol is accompanied by full documentation from new, factory photos, race entries, and period advertising features. Powered by a Steve Stanton-built Bristol engine with IN Racing close-ratio gears and rack-and-pinion steering like a Series 2 Cobra. The restoration was completed to the highest standard by leading marque experts—Shawn Bowlby (metal/paint), Gary Maucher (interior), Jim Feldman (guidance/spares), and D. L. George Historic Motorcars (assembly/sorting)—and is fully documented. Since completion, it has successfully completed the Colorado Grand twice, underscoring its reliability and road-readiness. A rare, historically significant Ace, ready for concours, touring, or vintage racing.
