AC 2-Litre /70 Six 4-Seater Drophead Coupe Pre-War, One-Off with twin wing-mounted spares, ex 1935
General description :
This lovely 1935 AC 16/70 Six Drophead Coupe comes from one of England’s, rich heritage, oldest car manufactures. Just 618 of the entire range of ‘Six’ models, including the 60/70/80/90, were ever produced. Only a few are still around today. This 16/70 Drophead coupe has a 1991 cc straight six engine. The 16/70 denotes the tax bracket (16) and the horsepower (70). No British Pre-War collection should be without this unique straight six 4-seater! Initially this was an English registered car that found its way to Sweden in 1977. It belonged to AC-owners club members and there is ample documentation and correspondence available, including UK to Swedish correspondence and between enthusiasts and previous owners. This past restored car has good bodywork with nice and well fitting body panels. Although good, the paint finish is not perfect. A little while ago a specialist in England overhauled the engine. Since then it has only travelled some 12,000 miles. Recently a £3,500 service was carried out. Mechanically speaking this car runs and works very nicely. This unique Pre-War 4-seater straight six convertible comes with extensive provenance! Gallery Aaldering is Europe’s leading Classic Cars specialist since 1975!

About AC
AC Cars formerly known as Auto Carriers, is one of the oldest independent car makers in Britain that has its roots going as early as 1903.AC appeared to a greater public with AC Ace, a lightweight roadster designed by John Tojeiro with a Weller-designed 2-Litre engine. Soon after, car dealer and racing driver Ken Rudd fitted his own competition Ace with a pre-war BMW-designed, Bristol-produced six-cylinder engine. This combination became known AC Ace-Bristol in 1957 -the car raced at Le Mansin 1957 and 1958.
In 1962, AC was approached by a certain Carroll Shelby to use a small block Ford v8 engine in the Ace, producing the AC Cobra -The legend was born, initially with 260 & 289 engines.
When switching to a bigger 427 engine, a completely new chassis was needed. In collaboration with Ford’s computers and the experience of the AC engineers, the new MKIII was born with thicker main tubes for the chassis, huge cross-braced shock towers and coil springs all around. This, along with the "side oiler" 427 engine, made the new AC Cobra MKIII a formitable race car. Initially a commercial failure, has now become the most replicated auto mobile ever.
