Launched in 1956, the AC Aceca Bristol was the second generation of Aceca and was equipped with a Bristol enginean AC 2-liter unit powered the first models. The new engine gave the car more power, enabling a 0-to-60 acceleration in 9 seconds and a top speed of 116 mph. Linked to a four-speed manual gearbox with overdrive on option, the engine had a capacity of 2 liters and an output of 120 hp. The design of the AC Aceca was inspired by the AC Ace roadster and featured elegant and refined lines. As a coupe grand tourer, the Aceca was more comfortable than the convertible Ace.
