1957 AC Ace Bristol Le Mans Roadster for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1957 AC Ace Bristol Le Mans Roadster is a used car showing 113,439 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in AC Works Green.

AC Heritage certifies this Ace as the works entry Ken Rudd prepared for the 1957 Le Mans 24 Hours. Alone in the field in being derived from a road car, it covered 3,780 km at 157.6 km/h on average and finished tenth overall and second in the two-litre class. A Ferrari 500 TRC ended 88 km ahead. At Thames Ditton the works lowered its nose, and it ran in works green with the AC badge on the nose.

In 1958 it went to the United States for SCCA racing, placing second at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix and winning its class in 1959. Its last owner, from 1963, stored it from 1972. Gassman Automotive in Virginia returned it to its precise Le Mans form in 2019–2021, and it has since taken class and historic-significance awards at Hilton Head and The Greenbrier. Its file includes period photographs.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
