John Thompson, owner of AC Aceca AEX521, kindly sent me a photograph of Aceca VPL441 being used as a demonstrator in 1956.
The start of a new year and AC Bluebird is back at JSW to be checked over before the Spring Sprint Race at Goodwood.
John Duncan was a serious AC owner who had several AC Aces and Acecas. During his ownership of VPL441 he had the suspension tightened and some other minor adjustments done so that he could compete the car in the Rallye de Paris.
When I started writing a book about AC Bluebird and delving into the history of the car I never expected to find anything sinister.
My research into the history of AC ‘Bluebird’ has uncovered many interesting discoveries. The Christmas gift of a photo album from Donald Campbell to Leo Villas in 1955 includes some surprising images.
Video of the K7 paint, reconstituted and mixed with modern, more robust paint, being sprayed over AC Bluebird car. The original K7 paint is mostly on the roof of the Aceca.
