    An AC Ace, and with a suitable reg :)

    Thanks. I tried googling but I didn't find anything other than a reference to a Ace Bristol.

    I thought it was an Aston Martin of some sorts, it looked like he was following the Volante who also did a u-turn

    It's an ace with a bristol engine, I'd say that's where the confusion is.

    Not everyone's idea of a classic, but they have their fans!
    In our local scrapyard this morning.
    They were incredibly basic inside..

    My parents had one just like it. Had to bend the pedals to the side cause it was too easy to press the brake and accelerator at the same time :P

    A fellow Celt from Brittany.
    I was in Concarneau a lovely coastal town.
    The sea air doesn't seem to have affected it.

    Looks like a Bentley Continental S3 Flying spur saloon. Coachwork by James Young. If so it's rare, worth a pretty penny. Sweet as a nut


    Here's one for £150k if you want a butchers. Or it might be this very one as the ad says there were only 68 made, and I think that might include the (relatively) more popular 2 door coupes. With about 20 saloons

    That car is advertised as a '65. Cartell doesn't know much about the pictured car except that it has a 4887cc engine. Is that even correct? Didn't Bentley and Rolls-Royce have bigger engines by then?

    Anyway carsireland has the pictured car down as a '59. Is that even correct? The S3 didn't start until '62? Also the ad is current and the ZV plate on the pictured car has been around quite some time.

    So likely not this very one based on the above :)

    And wildly speculating here, but the owner doesn't look that old, maybe he is savvy to use it as a company car, using an appreciating asset and only paying BIK on the original purchase price which was probably only something like £5k?

    Lovely car.
    The Dublin one has an aerial on the o/s front wing and no wing mirrors so I don't think it's the same car.

    I bought one of them, new.

    In Sporting Yellow of course. With Abarth rear spoiler as well.

    Red seat belts added 5bhp. True Story :)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Chapman knew all about 'stance' long before young lads discovered angle grinders.

    I was thinking that guy must be carting around bullion in the boot.

    That looks very low slung.
