History of the AC Ace-Bristol
Built 1956-1962, the AC Ace-Bristol was AC's answer to complaints that the standard AC Ace was lacking in power. To achieve this they brought in Bristol's straight six-cylinder engine as well as their more robust gearbox. Bristol Cars' two-litre 120 horsepower straight-six with three downdraught carburettors and a fast four-speed transmission was available from 1956. With 0–60 mph in the nine second range, top speed increased to 116 mph.
