The AC Aceca-Bristol was the slightly higher-performance version of the Aceca (pronounced “ah-see-ka”) – a model that was essentially a modified coupe-version of the now world famous AC Ace (the car that would later be re-engined by Carroll Shelby and sold as the AC Cobra).
The Bristol-powered version of the Aceca was fitted with the 1971cc D2-specification Bristol 6-cylinder engine capable of 120hp (up from 90hp on the standard Aceca), power was fed to the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, and it rode on independent front and rear suspension with transverse semi-elliptic leaf springs.
