A.C. Greyhound
The Greyhound was a replacement for the AC 2-litre which ceased production in 1958. Although benefitting from the engineering of the Ace and Aceca, the Greyhound was a new design. Its chassis was built of square tubes, and it had wishbone suspension and coil springs. The bodty was all new and designed by Alan turner and presented to a less than enthusiastic press at the 1959 London Motor Show. Most Greyhounds were given the 2-litre Bristol engine, or a Bristol 2.2-litre unit. A few had the Ruddspeed 2.6-litre engine, and a small number were given an updated AC 2-litre engine. Only 84 Greyhounds were sold when in 1963 production was given over to the AC Cobra.

AC Greyhound 1961. A Bristol 1971cc engine (from the Bristol 405) was given to the Greyhound, and Bristol developed this engine from the BMW unit in the 1938 BMW 328. Later cars were available with the Bristol 2216cc engine (from the Bristol 406). The grille was an inverted form of that given to the Ruddspeed-engined AC Ace.
