It might be good to mention that there is an AC model between the AC Ace and the AC Cobra. That is the AC Ace Ford Zephyr. The Ken Rudd (Ruddspeed) Zephyr design is much closer to the first AC Cobra. It is the Zephyr design that used the upside down Greyhound grill.
The Zephyr would be the first AC to use a Ford engine.
