  • 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Scalino

    The Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior was the entry model to the Alfa Romeo coupé range. It was introduced in 1965 as the replacement for the 101 series Giulia Sprint 1300, which was the final development of the Giulietta Sprint series. The GT 1300 Junior was fitted with the 1300 (1290 cc) twin cam engine (74 mm bore × 75 mm stroke), as fitted to the Giulietta series cars, but revised for the 105 series with reduced port sizes and other modifications. The smaller engine was introduced in order to allow buyers to choose an Alfa Romeo coupé while avoiding the higher taxes on the models with larger engine capacity, especially in Alfa Romeo's home Italian market. The first GT 1300 Juniors produced were based on the Giulia Sprint GT, with a simpler interior. The major external identifying feature was the black grille with just one horizontal chrome bar. The same 9/41 final drive ratio was maintained, but with a shorter 5th gear ratio of 0.85, instead of 0.79 as on all the other 105 Series coupés. In 1968, concurrently with the replacement of the Giulia Sprint GT Veloce by the 1750 GTV, the GT 1300 Junior was revised with many of the new parts from the 1750 GTV. This included the dashboard, the suspension and the new wheel size of 5½ × 14J instead of 4½ × 15J. In 1970 the Junior was revised a second time, and received the same nose treatment as the 1750 GTV, without the step but with only two headlights. For 1972, new wheels featuring smaller hubcaps with exposed wheel nuts like those on the 2000 GTV were fitted. At the same time, the GT 1600 Junior was introduced alongside the GT 1300 Junior. From 1974 the GT1300 Junior and GT1600 Junior were both rationalised into a common range with the 2000 GTV and were rebadged as 1.3 GT Junior and 1.6 GT Junior. According to Centro Documentazione Alfa Romeo, our GT Junior, chassis AR 1233589, was sold new on 27.03.1969 by Official old Alfa Romeo dealer SAVIM to Mr Ambrogio Allevi, class 1936. The car was delivered with one of the best colour combo, rare Grigio Indaco with a Rosso Amaranto interior wich make the car very special. Mr Allevi living in Vigevano (Pavia) keep the car more than 40 years… The car is very original with a great and very documented history, all original Alfa Romeo documents, original set of keys. The car was fully restored the last two years and is back now with its stunning Grigio Indaco original body colour. Mechanically in perfect condition, ready to meet its new owner. 1969 Alfa Romeo GT 1300 Junior Scalino ARNAGE Classic Car Consulting If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1995 BMW 850 Ci

    Unlike contemporary BMW sister models such as the 3-, 5-, or 7 Series, the 850i launched at the 1989 International Motor Show (IAA) as a “clean sheet” design and without ties to earlier versions of its platform. The new 8 Series proudly carried the lineage of its BMW badge, though, with a flat nose reminiscent of the earlier M1 while being touted as an indirect successor to the outgoing E24-generation 6 Series, at that point the company’s flagship grand tourer coupé. As the first examples were released for public consumption, the 8 Series made a bold impression, with its 5.0-litre V-12 engine rated by the factory for a 300 PS output. Customers could choose between a four-speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, with the example offered here equipped with the former. Originally ordered in 1994 model year specification for the European market, the BMW is understood to have been bought new by a Sheikh living in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who ultimately did not take delivery of the car. Instead, it was bought by a Finnish citizen residing in the Middle East, who took the BMW with them upon returning to live in Europe. As a result, the 850 Ci carries selected Gulf-specific features, such as enhanced air conditioning and being built without a catalytic converter. Acquired by The Munich Masterpieces Collection in 2007, the BMW shows 90,344 kilometres at the time of cataloguing and is offered with books and manuals, a Birth Certificate by BMW Classic that verifies this example’s matching-numbers engine, further to its boot-mounted toolkit. Please note, due to this car’s build configuration for the Middle East, buyers are encouraged to make sure that the BMW can be taken to their intended country of registration prior to bidding. 1995 BMW 850 Ci RM Sotheby's If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1989-ac-cobra-mk-iv-lightweight-specification

    First registration 06.1989 Matching numbers Swiss road registration with veteran entry The AC Cobra Mark IV is a further development of the legendary AC Cobra, which was originally developed in the 1960s in collaboration between AC Cars and Carroll Shelby. The Mark IV was produced by Autokraft Ltd. in England in the 1980s after the company acquired the rights to the AC brand. Just over 400 were built and very few had the Lightweight specification. In the early 1990s, the Lightweight was an additional model in the program with the chassis prefix “AKL”, but before that customers could order their Mk IV with the unofficial Lightweight specification. The AC Cobra Mk IV offered here is such a car and has the shortnose aluminum body as well as all other details of the Lightweight cars from new. It was largely hand-built in July 1988 and delivered to its first owner in Germany in mid-1989. The AC Cobra Mk IV was finally imported from Germany to Switzerland as relocation goods in October 2016. The engine and technology were overhauled around 3 years ago. All work has always been carried out and no expense has been spared to keep the car in perfect condition. The soft top, the side windows and the spray hood are also present as well as many documents, invoices, the owner’s handbook and the German vehicle registration document. This beautiful and rare AC Cobra Mk IV with Lightweight specification is matching numbers and is, veteran-approved, in top maintained and impeccable collector’s condition. 1989 AC Cobra Mk IV Lightweight Specification Lutziger Classic Cars AG If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

The AC Cobra Mk IV offered here is such a car and has the shortnose aluminum body as well as all other details of the Lightweight cars from new. It was largely hand-built in July 1988 and delivered to its first owner in Germany in mid-1989. The AC Cobra Mk IV was finally imported from Germany to Switzerland as relocation goods in October 2016. The engine and technology were overhauled around 3 years ago. All work has always been carried out and no expense has been spared to keep the car in perfect condition. The soft top, the side windows and the spray hood are also present as well as many documents, invoices, the owner’s handbook and the German vehicle registration document. This beautiful and rare AC Cobra Mk IV with Lightweight specification is matching numbers and is, veteran-approved, in top maintained and impeccable collector’s condition.

  • 1996 Honda NSX-T

    This first-generation, right-hand drive, manual gearbox Honda NSX Targa enjoyed its early life as a, much featured, UK Press Car. The legendary Honda NSX (standing for New Sportscar Experimental) was developed by the Honda Motor Corporation between 1984 and its eventual launch in 1990, with major chassis and suspension input from three-times F1 World Champion, Ayrton Senna and was everything that a sports car should be - dynamic, rewarding and stimulating. It featured an all-aluminium monocoque body, encompassing a revolutionary extruded aluminium-alloy frame and suspension making the car extremely light and very strong. Power was provided by a state-of-the-art, 3.0-litre, 24-valve, V6 'VTEC' engine (variable valve timing) which, despite being developed during F1's turbo-era, was normally aspirated. The free-revving, all-alloy unit produced 270bhp initially, which was good enough for a top speed of 168mph and a 0-60 time of less than 6.0 seconds. Those performance figures put the NSX on a par with Ferrari's 348 GTB, but in terms of comfort, ergonomics, driving dynamics and build quality, the NSX was in a different league entirely. The car was the first real Japanese 'supercar', proving itself and quickly establishing respect from its key competitors. However, this superiority was not translated into sales and, by the time production ceased in 2005, fewer than 20,000 had been sold making them relatively rare and much sought-after today. Despite those slow sales, the NSX earned huge industry respect as the first mass-produced aluminium-bodied car with F1-derived innovations like platinum spark plugs, titanium con rods, a magnesium induction plenum, alloy wishbones and subframes, four-channel ABS brakes and an interior with the 360-degree cockpit visibility of an F-16 fighter jet. Iconic Auctioneers are proud to offer this rather special NSX, a first-generation, right-hand drive Targa with the desirable manual gearbox, finished in Sebring Silver with a Burgundy hide interior. It's an original UK car that was initially allocated to Honda's UK Press Department and was featured in many press releases and magazine road tests including a very complimentary one in Motor Sport Magazine. Originally registered as N115 GLY, it was finished completely in silver with no black top, a colour scheme that sets it apart from the general production examples. In excellent overall condition, the car is outstanding throughout and presents superbly, fitted with slightly larger 18" wheels of a similar pattern and an enhanced exhaust system. The comprehensive history file includes invoices going back almost to day one as well as an impressive MOT trace, displaying regular care and maintenance throughout its life. Now back on its original plates, N115 GLY, it should be noted that the Cherished Registration Number illustrated, E2 NSZ does not form part of the sale but could be available by separate negotiation. With a fabulous, temperament-free, mid-mounted engine, great chassis balance, and approachable running costs, the NSX was known as a hassle-free 'Supercar' back in 1990 and that description still applies over thirty years later. 1996 Honda NSX-T Iconic Auctioneers Ltd If you are interested in the content of this listing, please contact the Dealer.

  • 1982 Porsche 935 JLP-4

    The Porsche 935 Decisive. Is there any other way to describe the success of Porsche’s legendary Group 5 silhouette racer, the 935? These Teutonic twin-turbocharged titans were the force to be reckoned with in top-flight endurance racing – both in Europe and across the pond in America. Notches on the 935’s period competition belt include an outright 24 Hours of Le Mans victory in 1979, a staggering six Daytona 24 Hours and 12 Hours of Sebring wins apiece, and three consecutive FIA World Championships for Makes. In the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, a Porsche 935 won every single race in 1977, 1978 and 1979.   JLP Racing It’s telling of the ‘free-radical’ philosophy of endurance racing in the late-1970s and 1980s that plucky privateer outfits had the confidence to enhance and build their own cars with which to take on the might of the factory teams – and often win! In the Porsche world at that time, the widely renowned names of Kremer and Joest in Europe and Andial and JLP Racing in the United States best embody that David versus Goliath mentality. In 1979, when Porsche called time on the 935, the father-and-son duo behind JLP Racing, John Paul Sr. and John Paul Jr., started building their own Porsche 935 ‘Specials’ in order to extend the model’s longevity and maintain its competitiveness against purpose-built prototypes in the fiercely popular IMSA GT Championship in the United States. Maintain the 935’s competitiveness the Pauls most certainly did. They bolstered their remarkable driving talent with cars that were designed and built by skilled people who really knew what they were doing, utilising the newest and most exciting technology. Second overall in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a win in the 12 Hours of Sebring and victory in the Daytona 24 Hours – these standout results show what a formidable partnership the Pauls and their skunkworks’ self-built Porsches achieved.   JLP-4 Of the four JLP Racing Porsche 935 ‘Specials’, it’s the final car, chassis JLP-4, which was by far and away the most extreme. The brief for JLP-4 was simple: to build a car which effectively harnessed the then-dark art of aerodynamic ground effect and could therefore match the pace of the newly introduced IMSA GTP prototypes. In short, JLP Racing wanted to win the 1982 championship outright. Two people were instrumental in realising what is today the zenith of the Porsche 935: Dave Klym, whose Georgia-based FABCAR outfit specialised in building Porsche racing cars, and Lee Dykstra, the talented engineer who’d subsequently go on to design Jaguar’s IMSA GTP prototypes. The starting point was a bespoke central monocoque chassis, which was reinforced at the front and the rear with lightweight tubular arrangements, akin to how Porsche had built its famous 935 ‘Moby Dick’ in 1978. Standard double-wishbone suspension could be found at the front, while at the rear a complex rocker arm system was implemented to facilitate airflow around the engine as part of the wildly complicated ground-effect floor. Ground effect was JLP-4’s party piece. Dykstra went to great lengths to perfectly synchronise the ducts, dams and tunnels beneath the surface with the slab-sided soap bar-shaped bodywork – again, a design influenced by ‘Moby Dick’ but improved in almost every way. Dykstra and FABCAR miraculously managed to gain access to the aircraft manufacturer Lockheed’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel and spent weeks perfecting the art of ground effect. All the latest and greatest 935 parts from Porsche were then fitted: the 930/80 air-cooled twin-plug 3.2-litre flat-six, two KKK turbochargers, an advanced Kugelfischer fuel injection system, the famous ‘upside-down’ four-speed gearbox, wheels and brakes, air jacks and finally titanium axles. Power was rated at 840HP while running at 1.2 bar of boost – a pressure the car could withstand as it was designed specifically for shorter sprint races (JLP-3 had the long-distance events pretty well covered). This 935 didn’t even have lights. Around 750,000 US dollars, 3,600 man hours and a slick Miller Beer livery later and JLP-4 was finally ready for its maiden competitive outing: the IMSA Championship round at Brainerd Raceway in Minnesota. Lo and behold, in front of a sell-out crowd which had been hotly anticipating the debut of JLP Racing’s newest weapon, John Paul Jr won the race – fending off Danny Onglais in a Lola T600 GTP prototype and John Fitzpatrick in a Kremer-built 935. Between July of 1982 and April of 1983, JLP Racing entered JLP-4 in six further races, including the Toyota Grand Prix 100 Miles at Portland International Raceway, which it won, and the 1983 Daytona 24 Hours. While the car was predominantly piloted by John Paul Jr., in the Pabst 500 Miles at Road America the three-times 24 Hours of Le Mans winner and five-times Daytona 24 Hours victor Hurley Haywood strapped in and tamed the beast. John Paul Jr was crowned the IMSA Camel GT Drivers’ Champion at the end of 1982, a feat he could not have accomplished without the precious two wins driving JLP-4. The celebrations would be somewhat short lived, however – both Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. were embroiled in their own respective legal battles and criminal downfalls (cigarette boats and an industrial volume of weed) and JLP Racing folded. JLP-4 was given to Paul Sr.’s lawyer in lieu of an outstanding payment and it was subsequently displayed in the world-famous Petersen Museum in Los Angeles – the place it called home for over 15 years. The American collector and keen historic racer Robert Tornello acquired JLP-4 in 1998 and recommissioned the car with a view to racing it in the popular HSR series. In addition to taking it to Sebring, Tornello returned JLP-4 to the history-steeped banking of the Daytona International Speedway – and on a number of occasions. Following a further comprehensive rebuild, this Porsche 935 ‘Special’ travelled to Italy, where it’s remained ever since. During its recent tenure in Europe, JLP-4 has made appearances at the popular Vernasca Silver Flag hill-climb in Italy and, in 2014, the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it was driven by the American-road-racing legend John Fitzpatrick. Around this time, the car was also featured in an extensive feature in Motorsport magazine. JLP-4’s current owner acquired the car in 2017, along with a wealth of technical drawings, build sheets, race programmes and even the original body moulds. There’s even a rare scale model of the car, which JLP Racing commissioned to celebrate John Paul Jr.’s title win in 1982. Today, JLP-4 is the final, fastest and most technologically sophisticated Porsche 935 of them all – from the time when the curtain was finally dropping on one of motorsport history’s most dominant sports-racing models. For the keen historic racer, getting to grips with this 840HP ground-effect Goliath, essentially a GTP prototype in a 935 dress, would be an exhilarating experience to say the least. And there is a host of events for which JLP-4 would be eligible, including the Masters Endurance Legends USA series, HSR Post-Historic GT, Classic Daytona 24 Hours and Classic Sebring 12 Hours. This most special of Porsche competition cars is patiently waiting for its legacy to be continued. 1982 Porsche 935 JLP-4 Girardo & Co.

  • 1953-aston-martin-db2-drophead

    David Brown bought Aston Martin in 1947 before swiftly snapping up Lagonda and moving both firms into adjacent workshops in Feltham. Styled by Frank Feeley and sporting Lagonda’s 2.6-litre twin-cam straight-six that delivered 105 brake horsepower, the DB2 soon emerged from the factory gates. The plan was to target sales in North America, with the new model ideally suited to high-speed, long-distance interstate driving. A matter of months later, in the autumn of 1950, the DB2 Drophead Coupé was unveiled. With no extra bracing in the chassis, the convertible was some 87 kilograms lighter than its hardtop counterpart. Beyond the prototype, which became the personal car of Brown himself, just 98 Drophead Coupés were built from a total production run of only 411 DB2s. Offered here is chassis number LML/50/239, which is configured in right-hand drive. Per the accompanying copy of the Aston Martin factory build record, the car was originally finished in the pale shade of Botticelli Blue over a Blue interior and featured a Grey soft-top roof. While the car was initially completed with the typical DB2 steering column-mounted gearchange, prior to delivery it was converted to a more conventional centre-change set-up. Exported to Singapore via Eastern Autos in June 1953, the DB2 was purchased new by Chan Hin Cheung of Chan Wing & Sons Ltd. The car remained in the country under the care of a J B Evans. Come the 1963 instalment of the Aston Martin Owners Club Register, chassis number LML/50/239 is recorded as belonging to a J M Hardman. The Drophead Coupé was subsequently acquired by Mr Peter Read, who split his time between West Sussex and the Californian city of Berkeley. The DB2 was subsequently recommissioned and maintained, including the fitment of power steering, by marque authorities RS Williams and Nicolas Mee in the early 2000s before finding a new owner in Pöcking, Germany. The consigning owner, a collector of both pre- and post-war Aston Martins, then took care of the car from March 2008. Now presented in a smart dark blue shade over tan upholstery and sporting a dark blue roof, this DB2 Drophead Coupé also boasts a replacement Vantage-specification engine that, from the factory, would have generated an additional 20 brake horsepower. Please note that the chassis number appears to be restamped, possibly during the recommissioning process. Accompanied by a spare wheel and jack, this Aston Martin offers a glamorous open-air driving experience.

  • 1976 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale

    The Lancia Stratos HF (HF stands for "high fidelity") came to be built as nothing less than a series-built competition car, launched as Lancia's entry in the FIA world rally championship in 1972 and virtually unbeatable until 1975 when it was retired to give the lowly Fiat 131 a chance at competition glory. The Stratos was street-legal merely to satisfy the FIA rulebook. For the Miura and Countach, Gandini was charged with only the styling; for the Stratos, Bertone gave him the whole ball of wax from mechanical layout to the final form. What Gandini gave Lancia was a midengine layout built around a central monocoque with bolt-on space frames front and rear, fully adjustable suspension, four-wheel disc brakes and a transversely mounted DOHC Ferrari Dino V6 with a five-speed transaxle. Most important, Gandini also delivered a simple, flip-up fiberglass body with a brutally stunning shape that makes any other rally car look decidedly average. Chris Hrabalek, a London-based automotive designer who owns the prototype, states," In 1971, the idea of the midengine road car was still exotic. The 1968 Ferrari 246 GT Dino had only recently made such a thing practical on the street and Chevrolet was busily exploring the midengine concept for the Corvette. But Gandini single-handedly yanked the whole midengine idea into reality with the Stratos, an angry rejection of the glossy GTs of the 1960s”. Even now, no other midengine car looks so modern as the Lancia Stratos. Its shape still has appeal, as Hrabalek proved when he drew rave reviews with his Fenomenon NewStratos, a concept car for an evolutionary interpretation of the Stratos idea that was unveiled at the 2005 Geneva Auto Show. Factory figures quote the Stradale's 2.4-liter V6 to produce 190 horsepower at 7,400 rpm (the rally cars made 240 hp or so) and makes 169 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, so the car is good for 0 to 60 mph in the sub-7s. This rare Lancia Stratos is one of those exceptional finds one only rarely comes across and is one of 492 Stratos HF Stradales to have left the marque’s Chivasso plant. The majority of the examples to have been produced were either modified for rally use or beat up and restored, however, this time-warp example goes against the grain having been kept original and unmolested throughout its life, a real “reference car”. Upon inspection the car is found to retain its original engine, gearbox, body, brakes, suspension, exterior paint, exhaust, wheels, and exterior stickers. This car has never been standing for a long time, it’s just been used very little but on a regular basis by all its previous owners. Inside the car, the seats are finished in a stunning tan suede leather upholstery and the carpets present in excellent condition throughout the inside. On the outside, the car has been found to be finished in its original paint, with only the passenger side lip on the rocker panel has been touched up once a very, very long time ago. Of course, there is plenty of patina and stone chips as one would find on a 40-year-old car. Again, thanks to its originality, the documentation of the car is unlike seen on most Stratos’. Accompanied by the original service book, owner’s manual and even the rare roadside assistance brochure. The car is currently fitted with a set of replacement wheels, though the originals accompany car. There are indeed some Stradale Stratos’ known in the world with fewer kilometres on the speedo but most of them have been restored or have even had to be fully rebuilt. Having been held by a total of just five owners in its near 50-year life, this car was bought into the UK and subsequently registered in early 2015 when DK Engineering sourced the car for its current owner and have stored since on their behalf. Since arrival in the UK, the car has been meticulously maintained and serviced frequently with no expense spared. Most notably, in 2018, almost £15,000 was spent on the car ensuring the car was running and maintained as correctly as possible. 1976 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale D.K.

  • 1957-ac-aceca-bristol-2

    The small Bristol-powered racer, designed by John Tojeiro in the early 1950s, was a great success in competition with Cliff Davis. AC Cars, renowned for its sporty models but with an ageing range, was looking for a new model and took a keen interest in Tojeiro's small car and decided to put it into production in 1954, under the name Ace. The Tojeiro bodywork was virtually a carbon copy of the beautiful Touring designed Ferrari 166 MM barchetta and was carried over to the Ace with minor modifications. It was based on a ladder chassis with independent suspensions, inspired by the Cooper that John Tojeiro had also designed. However, AC did not use the Bristol engine for its model, preferring to stick with the good old 2 litre long stroke six cylinder engine with overhead camshaft. It was designed in 1919 and its modest 80 hp was a bit too much for a modern sports car. The engine was increased to 100 hp, which gave the Ace a respectable, but not spectacular, performance. A very attractive and original fastback coupé version, designed by Alan Turner and named Aceca, was unveiled at Earls Court in London in 1954. Its body was constructed from hand-formed aluminum sheet and was supported by a tubular truss. To reduce the resonance box effect in the passenger compartment, AC mounted the components on rubber blocks. The tubular chassis was more solidly built than that of the Ace. The Aceca was a very attractive, light and well powered GT car. The Ace and Aceca helped to restore AC's pre-war notoriety among sports connoisseurs. The Ace and Aceca underwent very few changes during their careers, apart from the replacement of the engine in 1956, when the more powerful 2-litre Bristol six-cylinder (up to 130 bhp) became available. Towards the end of production, the excellent 2.6 litre Ford Zephyr engine, light and small for its displacement, was finally adopted. The combination of a stiff chassis that held the road well and an interesting power-to-weight ratio - with the Bristol engine the car was already reaching 190 km/h - allowed the Ace version to achieve many racing successes in the production Sport class, its best result being seventh place overall and first in class at Le Mans in 1959. The rest of the story is known. This well-born car was chosen by Carroll Shelby to install a Ford V8 in its specially strengthened chassis, giving birth to the mythical Cobras which definitively took AC out of a restricted circle of connoisseurs and gave it international recognition. Produced in 1957, making it eligible for the Mille Miglia, our AC Aceca Bristol was kept by AC as a demonstration vehicle, as evidenced by the nice file accompanying the car, including the original title and numerous invoices and documents from the period. The car has been sole in September 1961 via the Leonard North dealership to T.L. Hewitt, then passed successively in the hands of R. Earthy and G. Turner. The engine was replaced by AC Cars in November 64 who then fitted front discs in June 66. From 2003 to 2011 the car was in the hands of Ian Nuttall who undertook a full restoration, which was completed in 2010. It was then acquired by J. Broad in March 2012, before changing hands through us in 2020 to enter the collection of a French owner.

The notice and take down procedure is described here: https://www.speedholics.com/copyright The small Bristol-powered racer, designed by John Tojeiro in the early 1950s, was a great success in competition with Cliff Davis. AC Cars, renowned for its sporty models but with an ageing range, was looking for a new model and took a keen interest in Tojeiro's small car and decided to put it into production in 1954, under the name Ace. The Tojeiro bodywork was virtually a carbon copy of the beautiful Touring designed Ferrari 166 MM barchetta and was carried over to the Ace with minor modifications. It was based on a ladder chassis with independent suspensions, inspired by the Cooper that John Tojeiro had also designed. However, AC did not use the Bristol engine for its model, preferring to stick with the good old 2 litre long stroke six cylinder engine with overhead camshaft. It was designed in 1919 and its modest 80 hp was a bit too much for a modern sports car. The engine was increased to 100 hp, which gave the Ace a respectable, but not spectacular, performance. A very attractive and original fastback coupé version, designed by Alan Turner and named Aceca, was unveiled at Earls Court in London in 1954. Its body was constructed from hand-formed aluminum sheet and was supported by a tubular truss. To reduce the resonance box effect in the passenger compartment, AC mounted the components on rubber blocks. The tubular chassis was more solidly built than that of the Ace. The Aceca was a very attractive, light and well powered GT car. The Ace and Aceca helped to restore AC's pre-war notoriety among sports connoisseurs. The Ace and Aceca underwent very few changes during their careers, apart from the replacement of the engine in 1956, when the more powerful 2-litre Bristol six-cylinder (up to 130 bhp) became available. Towards the end of production, the excellent 2.6 litre Ford Zephyr engine, light and small for its displacement, was finally adopted. The combination of a stiff chassis that held the road well and an interesting power-to-weight ratio - with the Bristol engine the car was already reaching 190 km/h - allowed the Ace version to achieve many racing successes in the production Sport class, its best result being seventh place overall and first in class at Le Mans in 1959. The rest of the story is known. This well-born car was chosen by Carroll Shelby to install a Ford V8 in its specially strengthened chassis, giving birth to the mythical Cobras which definitively took AC out of a restricted circle of connoisseurs and gave it international recognition. Produced in 1957, making it eligible for the Mille Miglia, our AC Aceca Bristol was kept by AC as a demonstration vehicle, as evidenced by the nice file accompanying the car, including the original title and numerous invoices and documents from the period. The car has been sole in September 1961 via the Leonard North dealership to T.L. Hewitt, then passed successively in the hands of R. Earthy and G. Turner. The engine was replaced by AC Cars in November 64 who then fitted front discs in June 66.
