AC Ace

 
 
  The AC Ace is a classic open seater English post war sports car that was originally powered by a 2.0 Liter straight six cylinder engine producing 100 HP and was later replaced with a 2.6 Liter engine from a Ford Zephyr before the automaker was approached by the American Carroll Shelby who introduced the Ford V8 into the lightweight Ace chassis to create the AC Cobra.

1998 AC Ace

The Ace, a graceful, high performance, all metal two seater which is designed to compete head on with the products of Jaguar, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Porsche, has had one of the longest gestation periods of any car at the show. Conceived and initially put into limited pre-production some years ago by AC’s then owners, the Ace was completely re-engineered by AC Car Group after it acquired the business in late 1996. A revised prototype was shown at the London Motor Show in 1997 but this year-s Birmingham show sees the Ace in final production guise.
