AC Ace (1953-63)
Go to AC Cars By 1953 AC Cars were limping again until they were persuaded to adapt an Italianesque open sports car to their own mechanics and produce the AC Ace.

AC Ace. Launched in 1953 the Ace was initially given the 2-litre 6cylinder engine which was first designed in 1919, though not in the 85bhp version available to the Ace. The grille cowling is an accessory often fitted for racing.
AC Ace. In 1961 the AC Ace was modified with a lower bonnet line, a shape that was retained for the AC Cobra. A Ruddspeed tuned Zephyr 2.6 litre engine was also aavailable, but only 37 were sold.
AC Ace remained on sale from 1953 until 1963 when the AC Cobra took over the production line.
AC Ace Bristol. In 1956 the Bristol 1971 cc, six cylinder 125bhp engine introduced to the Ace, restoring it to the mechanics of the original Tojeiro-Bristol of 1952.
AC Ace Bristol. The aged AC 2-litre engine was replaced by a Bristol 2-litre engine from 1957, and disc brakes were given to the car.
