The AC unit was extremely long in the tooth by the time the Ace came out, hence the almost immediate provision of the more powerful Bristol engine. However, when these were being phased out by Bristol in favour of the Chrysler V8s, Ken Rudd proposed substitution of the Zephyr unit, and race-develope...

100-120 is "clear road" speed. Aye, and not something I would be happy to share the roads with if it was dialled into a hundred cruise controls. All it will do is create a much higher travel speed for those not happy to sit in the flow. This ain't Germany and most people aren't Germans - ...

If you've a steady hand try a cream band down the spine first....

Probably caused by somebody stopping to take a picture....
