Descripción

Introduced at the 1954 Earls Court Motor Show, the AC Aceca was a fastback coupe version of the celebrated AC Ace roadster. Both models shared the same ladder-frame chassis and much of the running gear and steering components. Lightweight and beautifully crafted in aluminium, the Aceca offered a more refined and enclosed touring experience compared to its open-top sibling. While early examples were powered by AC's own Weller-designed straight-six engine, from 1956 onwards, buyers could opt for the more powerful Bristol engine, significantly enhancing performance and long-distance capability.

This particular example, chassis BE788, was delivered to K.N. Rudd Ltd of Worthing, Sussex on 6th April 1960. Originally specified in bright blue metallic with light beige (VM3323) interior trim and chrome wheels, it was supplied with its original, numbers-matching Bristol engine: 100 D2 1065. The first registered owner was R. Durham Jnr. of Billingham, County Durham. In July of 1962 a M.R. Dawson of Huddersfield purchased the car before selling to R.D. Smith of Seaford, Sussex in 1964. Soon after, in November of 1965 J. M. Winn, of Tunbridge Wells, Kent became the owner who in turn spent just three years with BE788 when it transferred to D. P. Warren of Hampstead in 1968 and this is where it remained until 2006.

Having remained out of the spotlight for several decades and acquired by its most recent custodian in 2006, an extensive mechanical restoration and servicing with respected marque specialists took place. Notable work included a cylinder head rebuild, differential rebuild, and regular servicing. In 2007, the car was entered into the Goodwood to Monte Carlo Rally, affirming its reliability and touring credentials. Since then, it has been kept as part of a private collection and used sparingly.

Today, this numbers-matching AC Aceca Bristol presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-documented and highly original example, finished in a rare and attractive colour combination. Equipped with front disc brakes and overdrive, it represents the pinnacle of usability and period performance among 1960s British GT cars. A rare chance to own one of the most elegant and sophisticated variants of the AC marque. Consigned by Mathew Priddy
