AC ACE 2.0 Litre Inline 6-Cylinder 1959

Allmän beskrivning : 1959 AC Ace-Bristol
s/n BEX 1067
White with Red Interior In 1953, AC Cars built the Ace Roadster with a 100hp AC power plant riding on a light, tubular chassis under a beautiful, hand formed aluminum body. In 1956, AC built the Bristol Roadster which featured the lightweight tubular Ace chassis and a 2.0 litre Bristol six-cylinder engine with 3 downdraft carburetors producing 120 horsepower. Due to its light weight of only 1650 pounds, the car had great performance and handling. These cars raced at Le Mans in 1957 and 1958. Just 466 examples were built with the Bristol power plant between 1956 and 1962. When Bristol ceased building their 6-cylinder engine in 1961 the owner of AC, Charles Hurlock, was approached by Carroll Shelby to use a Ford V8 in the Ace chassis, producing the AC Cobra in 1962. Production of the Ace Bristol ended the same year. The AC Cobra was further developed into the legendary 289 and 427 Cobra’s which dominated the motor racing world. Unlike the AC Cobra, this AC Ace-Bristol (titled as a 1957) is eligible for many of the premier historic events such as the California Mille Miglia, and the Colorado Grand, among others.

om AC ACE
AC verkade större allmänheten med AC Ace, en lätt roadster designad av John Tojeiro med en Weller-designade 2-liters motor. Strax efter, monterade bilhandlare och racerförare Ken Rudd sin egen konkurrens Ace med en pre-war BMW-designade, Bristol-producerade sexcylindrig motor. Denna kombination blev känt AC Ace-Bristol 1957 -den bilen tävlade på Le Mans 1957 och 1958.
