AC Ace (REPLICA)

Over the past 20 years, British manufacturer 'Hawk' have built themselves an international reputation as the best in the business when it comes to AC replicas and to many they are accepted as being the truest to the original form and depending upon detailed specification, also reproduce an authentic and comparable driving experience. Founder Gerry Hawkridge is acknowledged globally as an AC guru.
This AC Ace by Hawk was completed by a talented aircraft engineer who also had over 30 years of experience restoring a variety of British sports cars to high standards. Finished in British Racing Green and fitted with a totally rebuilt 2.5 litre Triumph TR6 engine mated to a Triumph GT6 manual four-Speed gearbox with overdrive (reconditioned by Hardy's of Leatherhead) plus new clutch and flywheel, this car's specification closely matches the higher performance original late production AC Ace and generates a very satisfying V6 engine note. It also benefits from '123' electronic ignition and triple 40 Weber Carburettors by Webcom, high pressure fuel pump, Pacet fans and an oil cooler (not piped). Hydraulic brake and clutch pedals were supplied by Gerry Hawkridge. The Ace is fitted with uprated discs and pads and the exhaust front end uses Stainless Steel TR6 downpipes mated to bespoke middle and rear sections also in stainless steel. The vehicle is generally in 'as new' condition and so the power delivery, transmission, handling and braking performance is described as excellent. The car comes with black tonneau cover, a long MoT test certificate and just 700 road miles since being built. This virtually 'as new' collectable is road-ready to provide thrilling motoring with style and panache.
