Year: 1960 Make: AC Model: Aceca Bristol Registration: 906 GUP Chassis No: BE788 Odometer: 80,731 Introduced at the 1954 Earls Court Motor Show, the AC Aceca was a fastback coupé version of the celebrated AC Ace roadster.

Both models shared the same ladder-frame chassis and much of the running gear and steering components.
