-Red with Black leather interior, Black carpeting, 4-speed manual, Original LHD, Numbers matching, 1 of only 151 of the desirable first-edition Acecas built with the 2.0L AC engine, Original-Sympathetically restored and maintained when and where needed, Exceptionally preserved example.
Derived from the quick and popular Ace roadster, the sleek Aceca coupe was shown on the AC stand at the 1954 London Motor Show held at Earls Court and was immediate proof that fast sports cars do not need to be uncomfortable. With its lightweight aluminum bodywork, hatchback configuration and high-quality interior appointments it became one of the first modern high speed sport touring cars.
This Ace left the factory on 21 June 1958 in the same color combination and specification as it sits today. The Ace was shipped to the Hap Dressel's AC Imports Inc, Arlington, VA, the East Coast AC distributor at the time. The AC Ace is rarer than the Ace Bristol with only 220 Ace's produced as opposed to 463 Ace Bristol engine cars.
This AC Ace was owned for 30 of its 54-year history by Shelby Walker of Concord, New Hampshire. It has since been owned and cared for by AC enthusiasts who have used the Ace sparingly, but who have taken great care to keep this Ace in its current exceptional original condition throughout. For the concours enthusiast it is perfect entrant for any preservation class.
The AC Ace is powered by a 1,991 CC OHV Inline 6-Cylinder Engine with Triple SU carburetors and produces 105 BHP at 4,500 RPM. The drivetrain runs through a 4-speed manual gearbox with 4-wheel drum brakes. In the day, the Ace was a very responsive and capable package and "the car" to have.
Of course, it is known fact that the AC Ace went on to serve as the basis for the legendary Shelby Cobra. The Ace is ideal for vintage rallies and tours such as the California Mille, the Copperstate 1000, the Colorado Grand as well as the famed Italian Mille Miglia.
Extensively serviced in 2019 and maintained properly since, this AC is extremely user friendly and a joy to drive, even by modern day standards. Mechanically serviced and sorted, it is ready for immediate use and enjoyment.
