Default ACE Bristol
Nat Buchanan certainly used the Aston Martin DB3 but he used a shell from an ACE Bristol and made his 8 Cobras in 1958. The ACE Bristol is what I believe Mr Shelby used as a basis for his AC Cobra

I have some motor magazines from 1959 with some articles and pics if interest warrants
Thanks
