1958 AC Ace

[Harpoon PV2]

Here is a nice left hand drive ACE for sale, the Grandpappy to the Cobra! Price On request, translation, if you need to ask! Even without the Cobra, the Ace would have been a legend to us gearheads. As you all know, General Curtis "Bombs Away" Lemay, opened up some of the SAC bases for SCCA racing, and encouraged his pilots to race. A couple picked the little 2.0 Bristol powered AC Ace, where they won their class in, 1957, 58 and 59! If that wasn't enough, the SCCA bumped them up to D Production for 1960, and the ace won again. Determined to stop the little Ace that could, they bumped it up to C Production in 1961. Going up against Maserati Bird Cage, Mercedes-Benz 300SL and the Porsche Carrera's, the little Ace vanquished them again! I wish I could swing it!

Thanks for posting this - I wouldn't mind one either!

Beautiful car, and nice pictures

Interestingly, the colour is not one that would be top of the list in a colour chart, but in the 'flesh', it looks great. Very well matched by the interior colours as well.

Cheers!

Some of you may like this little slide show from John Ross Racing, of factory photos of AC Ace build, which is very close to the same as the small block Cobra. Cheers, Dennis https://www.johnrossmotorracingarchi...tober+1955.jpg
