The AC Cars name became commonplace with their successful AC Ace sports car introduced in 1953. Intending to build upon this success, AC released the Aceca starting in 1954. Based heavily upon the two-seat, open cockpit Ace, the Aceca was essentially a hand-built, enclosed, grand touring version of the popular Ace. Its hatchback design was quite unique for the time and added excellent usability to the small grand tourer. Early cars were fitted with a 2.0 liter inline six-cylinder engine built by AC mated to a 4-speed manual transmission but production switched to a similar power plant from Bristol in 1956 with these cars being names Aceca-Bristols. The Aceca came in at a scant 2120 lbs thanks in large part to its tubular frame, aluminum engine block, and aluminum body panels. Featuring nearly perfect 50 50 weight distribution, the Aceca proved to be an exceptionally well handling car. Production of the Aceca ran from 1954 through 1963 with 151 AC engined Acecas produced, 169 Bristol engined Aceca-Bristols produced, as well as 8 examples produced utilizing a 2.6 liter tuned Ford Zephyr engine.The example on offer here, chassis AEX 556 and engine number CL2250, is a 1956 AC Aceca, one of only 328 examples produced by the company. It is a matching numbers example finished in silver exterior with black leather interior and red carpeting.
