AC Ace Bristol - one of the best sports cars in the world

May 8, 2015 — Bruno von Rotz 77

From 1953 to 1963, the English sports car manufacturer AC Cars built the Ace, a roadster with a six-cylinder engine. The majority of the 735 vehicles produced were equipped with the two-liter engine from Bristol, which in turn was based on the pre-war BMW six-cylinder engine. Visually modeled on the Italian Barchettas of the time, the Ace shone with independent front and rear suspension and very good driving performance. This driving report describes the history of the AC Ace and provides driving impressions in text, pictures and sound, supplemented by historical photographs and sales brochures of the time.
