1959 AC Ace roadster No reserve COLLECTION EMILE GARCIN Sans titre de circulation Châssis n° AEX1035 - Conduite à gauche d'origine ! - La sobre élégance de l'Ace et la puissance du V8 Ford - Une des voitures de sport les plus brillantes de son époque - Sans réserve A l'aube des années 50, la firme AC est en quête de renouvellement et souhaite enrichir sa gamme d'une nouvelle voiture sportive, moderne et performante.

Elle se tourne alors vers John Tojeiro qui vient de prouver l'efficacité des châssis de sa conception en remportant la saison 1953 du Brooklands Trophy et lui en achète les droits.
