All Aces were 6 cylinders but there were 3 different engines; The AC, Bristol, and Zephyr 2.6. Horsepower ratings were from approx 85HP for the lowest HP version AC engine and went up to 170HP for the highest HP Zephyr engine. The Bristol version (which this car has) was rated at 125HP.

It's a 57 even thought he description says 75. Or is it backwards?
(It really is a 57 but the typo really nags me.)

It's been a long time, but my recollection is that the Bristol engine was a pretty unusual design. It had hemispherical combustion chambers with pushrods. The offside valves were driven by crossover pushrods driven by an additional intermediate rocker. Probably not so good for high rpm.
