1956 AC Ace for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1956 AC Ace is a used car showing 27,000 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in White with a Blue interior.

The 2026 Mille Miglia is behind this Ace, which still carries its race number 418, and its file holds the certificate of the Registro 1000 Miglia. That makes it eligible for the centenary edition of 2027, leaving from Brescia as the event always has. A FIVA identity card was issued for the car in February 2024.

Gallery Aaldering presents it as restored and mechanically overhauled, and the documentation photographs follow the AC six-cylinder through a complete rebuild, from the bare block and crankshaft to the three SU carburettors. The pictures of the finished car show a white body over dark blue leather, with chrome wire wheels and a wooden steering wheel rim.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The AC Ace uses AC's own 1,991 cc overhead-camshaft straight-six, a design dating from just after the First World War, with three SU carburettors, rated at 86 PS at launch, 103 PS (102 bhp) at 5,000 rpm from 1958, a top speed of 166 km/h and 0 to 100 km/h in 11.4 seconds, with a four-speed Moss manual gearbox driving the rear wheels, with overdrive available from 1956.
