Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1926 AC Six Aceca Tourer, owned for 30 years, features a Weller six-cylinder engine and two-seater coachwork with dickie seat. It requires recommissioning after being off the road since 2020, but recent work includes relined brakes and an overhauled magneto, making it a usable vintage car with potential as a recommissioning project.

Condition

6

The car is described as being in very good mechanical condition but requires recommissioning after being off the road since 2020. It has benefitted from relined brakes and an overhauled magneto, and the vendor believes it only requires light recommissioning. Cosmetically, it's presented in British Racing Green with Black wings and a Green interior, and comes with full weather equipment. The car has been in the current ownership since 1994 and has a documented history with few former keepers.

The AC Six chassis featured quarter-elliptic springing front and rear, a three-speed gearbox in unit with the rear axle and worm final drive.

The Six took its place in history at the hands of AC works driver, The Hon.

Victor Austin Bruce’s, achieving an outright win at the 1926 Monte Carlo Rally.
