PASION A LA VELOCIDAD Y MOTORES

Hello! This is my first post on the Forum, which is a very interesting insight into motorsport in Venezuela. Please can anyone help me with the history of an AC Ace Bristol which I bought in Venezuela in poor condition. It will be rebuilt to run again! I attach some pictures. When the car was new it...

Hello Aparicio. Thank you very much for your response. I wonder if the junkyard is still in existence and if the owner remembers anything of the cars? My car looks as if it was being prepared as a drag racer, but I do not think it was ever completed. The fitting of a solid rear axle was never comple...

Dear Aparicio, Thank you for posting the video of the pictures. This is the first news I have of the car! I believe that the 'Team 905' car with the big rear wheels is definitely my car.

Perhaps this is a mistake, or are they brothers? I would be very interested to know who drove car #74, and if it is possible t...

Dear Brankok, It's really good to have a photograph of #74 at last! Thank you very much. I can see it was a light coloured car with a stripe in the middle and a normal Ace type nose at the front. I hope you do find another picture. Thank you also for explaining that there were two Gutierrez brothers...

Please may I add my condolences following the very sad news that Branko is no longer with us. His superb web site was read by so many people around the world. It captured all the excitement of amateur racing in Venezuela, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, and was a great source of information for...

Dear Nelson,

Thank you for your reply. Please, do you have any pictures of the car?

Kind regards,
