*One of 151 built with the 2.0-litre AC engine
*Previous long-term family ownership of 40 years
*Repainted in the 2000s
*Re-trimmed circa 2014A chance encounter with John Tojeiro's sports-racer prompted AC Cars' management to put the design into production in 1953 as the Ace. The car's pretty Ferrari 166-inspired barchetta bodywork was retained, as was the twin-tube ladder frame chassis and Cooper-influenced all-independent suspension, while the power unit was AC's own venerable, 2.0-litre, long-stroke six. A hardtop version - the fastback-styled Aceca coupé - debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show in October 1954.
One of 151 built with the 2.0-litre AC engine, this particular Aceca previously belonged to the same family for some 40 years. A recognised marque specialist, the immediately preceding owner was President of the Aceca Club and thus well known in Aceca circles, being responsible for organising the remanufacture of many unobtainable spare parts. Its late owner carried out all of the Aceca's maintenance and servicing himself (hence there are no accompanying bills) and it is understood that it has benefited from extensive cosmetic refurbishment in recent times, the body having been repainted in the 2000s and the interior re-trimmed around 2014. Rare, desirable, and offering exceptional value for money, this beautiful Aceca Coupé is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.
