The AC was dismantled for complete repaint, with any repaint from Redline all parts are removed along with engine out to achieve best possible finish, in-fact over 300 hours have been spent making sure this AC is looking its very best.
The present owner has since loved and enjoyed with meticulous continuous maintenance, no stone has been left unturned making this one of best Bristol engine AC Aceca currently on market today, in current ownership upgraded radiator for better cooling – upgraded headlamps stainless sports exhaust (standard exhaust supplied).
