The AC Aceca-Bristol is a Grand Tourer produced by the British car manufacturer AC Cars from 1954 to 1963. It was the fastback version of AC's Ace Roadster. The Aceca-Bristol was produced with an aluminum body and independent suspension. The design was based on the Ferrari 166. Due to its light weight, it was a very interesting car for racing. The folding rear seat also made the car suitable for longer journeys. The chassis number indicates that this is a variant with a Bristol 6-in-line engine. A total of 328 ACECAs were produced and there are only 169 variants with the Bristol engine. The cars on offer are part of a static collection that has been accumulated over the last 40 years. They are mainly in an unrestored, original but dusty condition. We have not tried to start any of the cars. We have been informed that the engines have been turned, on a regular basis, but the exact condition of the cars and the engines is unknown to us. You can inspect the cars on the viewing days for which you have to make a reservation through our ticketshop.
