Description Interesting late registration example with Ford 4.9 V8, manual 'box and LSD, removable hard-top, very low mileage example that sounds fantastic First registered in May 2009, this uncommonly late registration AC Ace Brooklands is finished in Red with matching removable red hard-top, with black Mohair soft-top sitting on a set of 16” grey faced cross-lace alloy wheels with AC centre caps and looks very muscular indeed.

An interesting car, with an interesting story.

We are told (also documented in the history file) the car was purchased from the AC factory in an unassembled form in 2003 by a Mr Martin and is likely one of the last 12 Series 3 Booklands built with a hi-tech mix of carbon fibre body panels, aluminium doors and sills mounted to a Reynard designed chassis.

Power comes from a big, fuel injected 4.9 litre (302CUI) crate Ford Mustang V8 developing c.320bhp driving the rear wheels via five-speed T5 manual transmission and BTR Hydratrack LSD.

We gather this engine ...
