Bristol-engined Racing Cars The Bristol 1,971cc engine (ex-BMW 328) was a popular engine for various sports and racing cars in the 1950s. Cooper used it in its Formula Two racing cars, with some success, because Formula Two had a 2-litre engine limit at the time. Frazer-Nash, already affiliated to Bristol Motors through AFN used the Bristol engine in several of its postwar competition cars. Cooper, Lister and Lotus also used the Bristol 1,971cc engine for 2-litre racing. AC adopted the Bristol engine to replace its own ageing 2-litre engine and fitted it to the AC Ace, AC Aceca and AC Greyhound. |
