| Although us as well as many period magazines, the AC is one of or probably the best driving sports car of the 50?s. The handling as well as the power is fantastic. One can drive relaxed with an AC but it can be used very well on race tracks as well. It isn?t strange that Cobra has used the AC as a base. It is just a fantastic race car as well. In comparison with the Aston Martin DB2?s and Jaguar XK 120, the AC Ace was in the time prized by many magazines as the perfect car to both race and used as a touring car. The AC Ace made its debute in 1953 at the London Motor Show and production began in 1954 and continued through 1963. The AC consisted of a light-weight tubular chassis with steel boxes in the front and rear which supported a transverse leaf and lower wishbone independent suspension system. The chassis was very well designed and one looked very well to the place of the engine to give the car an optimal balance. If you look to the front of the car, you might have recognized the grille of the Ferrari 166. This because the Ferrari 16MM Barchetta which was made by Touring of Milan was the inspiration car for the designers of the AC Ace. During the first year of production, there were fewer than 60 examples produced. These were all Aces - convertibles. The Aceca, a hard top variant was debuted in 1954. Due to the vehicles light weight, optimal weight distribution, responsive engine and handling, and stylish appearance, it attracted much attention. This specific example is a very impressive car. The looks of the car are excellent because of the fantastic color combination. But more unique is the condition of the car. This car is a very original example which has driven a very small amount of miles in its life. Therefore the car still has its original interior which is superb looking. It does have a very nice patina. The Aceca is newly delivered at the 16th of April 1958 towards a gentlemen who was named Mornoe D Lipman. A complete check up has been carried out and the car benefits from a respray which has been done approximately 1 year ago. It is an impressive example of a car which has a superb handling on the road but has amongst that also superb lookings. Please take the time to look for some seconds to the different pictures. If you follow the lining and then specifically from the backside of the car, then you see how nicely these cars are made. It is almost unbelievable that it was possible to produce these cars with these linings in 1956. A total of 151 ACECA?s have been made and, due to its rarity, in recent times has become a true "blue chip" investment, based also on a surprising competition background.
