Vehicle Description
1960 AC Aceca Out of 50 Year Ownership This rare 1960 AC Aceca is
an exciting find just out of 50 year ownership. It comes
accompanied by an extensive history file. It was originally a white
car but is currently blue with tan interior. The alloy 6-Cylinder
AC engine in the car is a correct but non-matching numbers unit.
When the previous owner bought the car in 1970, its original engine
had already been replaced with a Ford 260 V8. After a few years, he
decided to source a proper AC 6-Cylinder engine and this is the
engine that's currently in the car (CL 7 51 2315 WT). He was an
active member of the AC Owners Club and the car comes with much
correspondence throughout the years. The car has been sitting off
the road for several decades and is not currently running. It is
now ready for an easy restoration. It comes complete, solid,
straight, and intact. As a hardtop version of the AC Ace, the
fastback-styled Aceca Coupe debuted at the Earls Court Motor Show
in 1954. The Aceca's hatchback body was constructed in hand-formed
aluminum over a tubular steel framework, while the tubular chassis
was more substantially built than the Ace's. The result was a
well-engineered, light in weight and extremely pretty GT car in the
best AC tradition. The combination of a fine-handling chassis and a
power-to-weight ratio helped the Ace version to numerous successes
in production sports car racing, arguably its finest achievement
being a 1st-in-class and 7th overall finish at Le Mans in 1959.
