This car took part in the 20 minute long Pre-1961 Sports and GT Car Race at the VSCC's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Donington Park in May 2011.
It's the 1957 AC Ace of D Emmans, driven in the race by Andy Shepherd. Early Aces were fitted with the 1,991cc straight-6 AC engine, but this car is chassis BE 318, the 'BE' indicating that it has one of the 1,971cc straight-6 Bristol engines. Some later cars were given the 2,553cc Ford Zephyr straight-6 engine.
