Our AC Bristol was delivered new on 17/10/1959 by Worldwide lmports Inc (Los Angeles)
We find the car in the hands of M.BIONDI and then in the name of Paul DOWING from 1994 to 2002 when it is imported in GB by an AC specialist, who quickly sells it to a French collector.
The engine has been rebuilt in 2009 by Ets RPM, specialists in Clichy, from a standard ribbed block with little wear and a rebuilt cylinder head, designed for the use of unleaded fuel. The cooling radiator was reconditioned, and a new clutch installed. About 10.000 miles had been covered without any problems.
Its maintenance was entrusted to Ets RPM in Clichy. It had been noted, in September 2012, the removal of the rear transverse blade package, then reconditioning/tire by specialist. Removal of the wheel shafts and disassembly of the bridge nose for replacement of the fixing axes / inking of the spring blades. Adjustment of the bevel gear teeth. Replacement of the rear shocks. In October 2015 at 82,478 miles, checked the running gear, various tightening, greasing and engine revision.
In July 2022, during a general check-up, the whole brake system was revised. And it change hands through us to enter with great pleasure the 2023 Tour Auto
In other words, a car ready to take the road and always very well maintained.
