Of course, when I was a student at Imperial, they were still driving around on the roads in that area, not posing in showrooms! I lived in Princes Gardens and Cranley Gardens during that time, which are roughly the same distance either side of Reece Mews.
Well hello ex neighbor (and Imperial allumnus)! I live in Little Boltons along Old Brompton, (but planning to move to Portland next year)!
I think the AC ace Bristol is one of the prettiest cars imaginable - and a bit of a bargain - they're usually about £50k? HR Owen the Ferrari dealers a little bit further down the road from here, have a similar looking 250 gt california in white for a reported £6m!
Put the two side by side and I'd honestly choose the Ace over the 250.
I think it's classier and better looking.
There's still lots of fancy machinery tootling around here but unless it's something really special people dont care or look - Lambo's don't even draw a glance from the locals anymore. Purple Koennigsegg being an exception!
