The AC Aceca was a coupe grand tourer based on the AC Ace convertible. The Aceca used the same simple timber framed alloy body than the Ace but was more comfortable and sophisticated. Introduced in 1954, the Aceca was originally fitted with an AC 2-liter engine. In 1956, a Bristol engine was introduced, boosting the car’s performance. In 1961, a new 2.6-liter unit based on the engine from the Ford Zephyr was used, generating 120 hp. Some versions were tuned up to 170 hp, allowing for a top speed of 130 mph and a 0-to-60 mph acceleration in 8.1 seconds. Only 37 units of the 2.6-liter AC Aceca were made before AC moved to the Shelby Cobra model.
