- A genuine AC Ace that had an original Cobra body fitted in 1966 - Owned by the vendor in 1964, 1966, and again since 2010 with a well-documented history - Over £30,000 of recommissioning works by a Bristol specialist in 2000/2001 A notably late, home market AC Ace Bristol, chassis BE1199 has a well-documented history. The information below is condensed from a wonderful three-page letter that the vendor wrote to The AC Car Club in 2010, plus the Club's archive records and those of the AC Ace Register. Dispatched from the Thames Ditton factory on January 11th 1962 and initially finished in Svecia Red with Black interior trim and a hard top, chassis BE1199 was first owned by a Dr Robert Page-Blair of Cadogan Gardens, London who had it registered with his personal number plate 'RPB 880'. Re-liveried Blue by 1964 when then owner Lynton Moss Esq. was involved in a minor accident whilst driving through Ruislip, Middlesex, the AC first entered the vendor's custody that same year for the princely sum of £105. AC Cars refused to sell him the required driver's side wing and door to repair the car, so he approached their supplier and bought the panels direct (along with two new and complete AC Cobra bodies which he found irresistible). Chassis BE1199 was repaired and painted metallic Regal Red and it is believed the next owner was a Mr Jenkins of Chelsea, London. The Ace was involved in another minor accident during early 1966 which resulted in the vendor reacquiring it. Based in a Lexham Mews garage at the time, he chose to fit one of the Cobra bodies rather than refurbish the lightly damaged original. Painted White and by now re-registered as 'JA 131', the vendor recalls selling the AC to a local photographer named Sean Woodnutt. Although, the AC Car Club's records show the car as having been owned by a Mr Gathercole of Lambeth in 1967. Possibly Mr Woodnutt sold it to Mr Gathercole. During the late 1960's Mr Gathercole reportedly blew a piston and rather than repair the engine he fitted a Ford V6 unit. Over twenty years later in 1989, the car passed through the hands of a succession of well-known dealers and collectors and ended up having another Bristol 100D2 engine fitted, and then in late 1991 it was painted green. Stated as then having a Swiss owner in 1992 and a German (Hamburg) owner in 1998, the car was subsequently owned in 2000 by a Mr Lee from Hong Kong who appears to have kept the car in England. Between October 2000 and July 2001, Mr Lee spent over £30,000 on 'JA 131' with a well-known Bristol specialist having the car thoroughly recommissioned, including a refresh of the engine cylinder head and gearbox. The current V5C states that the AC was acquired by a Lincoln-based gentleman in 2006 and it is understood that he fitted some replacement wheels to sharpen the car's handling and retained its 'OY 8365' number plate. Purchased by the vendor for the third time in August 2010, he has now decided to part company with it once more. The generously sized history folder contains many notes and letters from the above mentioned owners' clubs and a quantity of expired MOT certificates. Supplied with a hard top, this rather special car is described by the vendor as having a 'good' interior and paintwork with a 'very good' body, engine, and gearbox, adding that it 'drives very well'. A beautiful motor car with an exciting and documented history.
- Entered from a private collection and current ownership since 1984 - Supplied new to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Norfolk by Jack Barclay Ltd and later the property of the actor Patrick Allen - 1 of just 119 S1 Continental chassis bodied to design number 7400 by H.J. Mulliner - 4.9 litre straight-six engine, automatic transmission and original Champagne leather upholstery - Extensive period service history with Jack Barclay Ltd Allocated design number 7400, the two-door all-aluminium Fastback coachwork which H.J. Mulliner crafted for the Bentley S1 Continental chassis was decidedly rarer than that fitted to its R-Type predecessor. Stylistically more reserved but still "flowing and purposeful and free from any needless excrescence", the newcomer was not only underpinned by a notably stiffer chassis (up fifty percent in terms of torsional rigidity) but also boasted a smaller turning circle, more compliant suspension and improved hydraulic brakes. Typically allied to four-speed automatic transmission, its refined 4887cc OISE straight-six engine yielded a 120mph top speed and impressive acceleration. Arguably the ultimate Bentley S1 Continental variant, the H.J. Mulliner Fastback was among the very fastest and most glamorous four-seaters of its generation. According to its accompanying copy chassis cards, this particular example - chassis BC94AF - was supplied new via Jack Barclay Ltd and Mann Egerton & Co Ltd to James Douglas Alston CBE of South Lopham Hall, Diss, Norfolk (a gentleman farmer and former deputy Lord Lieutenant of Norfolk whose business interests extended to Norwich City Football Club). Clothed by H.J. Mulliner with body number 5888, the Bentley was initially road registered as 'SYE 545' on 5th July 1956 and finished in Tartan Green with Champagne leather upholstery. Purchased from Jack Barclay Ltd by A.J. Koenen Esq. - a London-based wine merchant - some three years and 38,000 miles later, the Fastback passed to its third keeper the renowned stage and screen actor Patrick Allen Esq during February 1966. Re-registered as 'PKA 999' during his tenure which copy Jack Barclay Ltd invoices show lasted well into the 1970s, chassis BC94AF is then known to have passed through the hands of Bertram Cowen Ltd, Kevin Dolan Esq. and Nicholas Hart Esq. before entering the current ownership on October 1st 1984 (purchase invoice on file). Assorted old MOT certificates suggest that the Bentley has covered just 10,000 or so miles over the last thirty-two years. Part of an impressive private collection during that time (and stabled alongside its sibling BC90AF for several decades), the luxurious four-seater sports saloon has nevertheless been treated to an engine overhaul by Arthur Archer of Dunmow: new piston rings, bearings, valve guides, gaskets etc (1987, c.5,000 miles ago), replacement woolcloth headlining (2000), front suspension refurbishment (2006), new windscreen (2009), fresh exhaust system (2012) and rejuvenated wood veneers (2016) plus attention to its ignition system and brakes etc. Pleasingly thought to retain its original Champagne leather upholstery, the Fastback had already been repainted Dark Blue when Mr Dolan displayed it at the RREC's South of England Rally on 8th May 1983. Awarded 2nd Place in the Best Visiting Classic Class at the Jaguar Drivers' Club's East Anglian Concours d'Elegance Meeting some twenty-four years later, the Bentley remains a very imposing and presentable motorcar. Reluctantly being offered for sale and currently undergoing a cherished number plate transfer, this decidedly rare S1 Continental H.J. Mulliner Fastback - 1 of just 119 - is accompanied by an original sales brochure, handbook and history file. Post-War Bentleys rarely come more beautiful or collectable.
