AC Ace
At a car show over the summer, ran across an original AC Ace. Thought I would share some pictures of it. Still in restoration mode so it was a little rough in certain spots...but what a treat to see. Spliced a pic together with the SPF to show the evolution to the Cobra.

Eric,
Nice pics of the AC. Canepa has a fully restored one that I've seen a couple of times. Beautiful car. http://www.canepa.com/inventory/coll...l_1/index.html |
Sweet, love the Ace.....

Doug - the one for sale at Canepa is a beauty!

That's very cool. Mine's actually the same color.
That is one loooong emergency brake handle! -Greg |
Nice pictures,have always loved the small two seat sports cars.

Relagated to a footnote in the journals of automotive history if not for Carroll Shelby.

The 1940s and 50s are filled with beautiful, unusual cars that no one today has ever heard of. The Ace is, I pain to say, a relatively common almost-a-Ferrari knockoff of which there were dozens. Too bad Shelby didn't land on, say, the BMW 507... :D
