What's this?

Post by Maxakarudy »

I was at Pershore Festival today, I couldn't quite work this one out, Ace or Cobra, it's a genuine AC car though.

It is an AC ACE, but whether it is an original car or a replica I cannot tell. Will look closer.

According to the Motor Insurance Database it's an AC Ace.
Cheers, Clive.

It's an AC Ace 2.6.
When AC changed the engine manufacturer they changed the body shape into this lovely slim version which I think is the best produced. This car was the shape that was developed into the Cobra.

The 2.6 is the better shape in my view as well. 8)

I believe that Gerry might be able to offer this body work shape. I'm sure it was an option a long time ago.

I'm sure Gerry can do it. John Harle had a Jag grey 2.6 Hawk and I'm sure it was on the NEC stand a few years ago.
