Ceol Mhor NZ My Dad bought a mark 7 jag, a darkish green colour, off Ace around mid 60's, I wonder if this is the one.

Ceol Mhor NZ Sandy Ellen, do you remember this car. I think it may have been around 62 when the ole man bought it. Can't have been too many mk7's around on the coast.

Thomas Peter Mulligan Brought a Datsun 1200 coupe off him he could really drive

Hayden Williams
Hayden Williams Ian Boustridge so that’s why you had that awesome driveway!
Colin Tuck Mark VII’s were quite rare & unique on the “Coast”, Bert Cummings(Auto Diesels) had one whom sold it too my father , because of there rarity maybe Ian Cummings could shed some light on this subject matter

When my father obtained it we as kids wondered in total amazement at the “Cigar” lighter that would pop out of the dash red hot for no unexplaind reasonSteve Batey
Graham, i will find some more photos i have of dads (Alan Batey) from the same hill climb i think, photos of about 5 cars if i can find them including dad

Spinner Brown
When my father , Gil Brown , got married , Ace was the best man .

Chris Carroll
My dad worked for Ace before we came to Chch. Can remember him having a doom buggy in the garage and the guys working on it.

Maree Lewis
Wow! He could almost climb Everest with all that power!

Karen Potter
I remember his jag

Terry MJ
My older bro played roller hockey with Ace many years ago in Greymouth. They were the only unbeaten roller hockey team in NZ during the 1953 season. Ace could "flick" the ball faster than anyone I have ever seen. He used that skill to score many goals for the team. RIP, Ace and my bro.

Marlene Jackson Perry
Terry MJ I wondered why that name seemed to ring a bell.xx
