The AC Cars’ name became commonplace with their successful AC Ace sports car introduced in 1953. Intending to build upon this success, AC released the Aceca starting in 1954. Based heavily upon the two-seat, open cockpit Ace, the Aceca was essentially a hand-built, enclosed, grand touring version of the popular Ace. Its hatchback design was quite unique for the time and added excellent usability to the small grand tourer. Early cars were fitted with a 2.0 liter inline six-cylinder engine built by AC mated to a 4-speed manual transmission but production switched to a similar power plant from Bristol in 1956 with these cars being names Aceca-Bristols. The Aceca came in at a scant 2120 lbs thanks in large part to its tubular frame, aluminum engine block, and aluminum body panels. Featuring nearly perfect 50/50 weight distribution, the Aceca proved to be an exceptionally well handling car. Production of the Aceca ran from 1954 through 1963 with 151 AC engined Acecas produced, 169 Bristol engined Aceca-Bristols produced, as well as 8 examples produced utilizing a 2.6 liter tuned Ford Zephyr engine.

About AC ACECA
The AC Aceca is a sports coupe that was produced by AC Cars from 1954 to 1963. It was based on the AC Ace, but featured a fixed roof and a hatchback-style rear door, making it more practical for everyday use than the open-top Ace.The Aceca was powered by a variety of engines over the years, including a 2.0-liter Bristol inline-six and a 2.6-liter Ford Zephyr inline-six. The latter engine was a popular choice among buyers, as it was both powerful and reliable.
In addition to its practicality, the Aceca was also known for its sporty handling and sleek styling. The car's fastback roofline and elegant curves gave it a distinctive look that set it apart from other sports cars of the era.
Today, the AC Aceca is a highly sought-after collector's car, particularly among enthusiasts who value its combination of performance and practicality. Prices for the Aceca can vary widely depending on the specific model, condition, and rarity, but well-maintained examples can fetch high prices
