Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1958 AC Aceca Bristol, chassis BEX693, is a rare left-hand-drive example, one of 14 originally delivered to the US. It features a Bristol 6-cylinder engine, a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, and has undergone an extensive seven-year restoration between 2008 and 2015, making it a usable and elegant grand tourer.

Condition
7
The car has been restored, but it's not in perfect condition. The listing mentions that the car was missing its original engine and has been refitted with a different engine from the same series. While the car is described as beautifully sorted and well-maintained, the engine replacement and the slight wear visible bring it down from a higher rating.
