It was delightful to see an AC Royal on the TV show "Classic Car Club" last night. As much as I like Tony Mason, he made a major blunder with the comments that "...it's not a performance car, that's for sure. With a 1.5 engine developing 12hp, about the same as a moped"!
For those outside the UK, the 12hp was a taxation rating that was considerably lower than the real power output. I think it was more than 30bhp output from this Anzani engine, but I'm hoping someone here can provide the correct figure?
I noticed an ACOC badge on that Royal, so the owner might be among us?
