Two vintage AC’s ‘come home’

[Old Crock]

Two vintage AC’s have been repatriated from South Africa to England. The first is the only surviving two-door saloon, a Weymann fabric-bodied car from 1927, that some may remember was for sale a few years back for £65,000. It is to be fettled and used for racing, and although this might surprise some this car is superficially similar to the Frazer-Nash saloon called ‘The Owlet’ (originally Weymann bodied also) which is raced successfully.
   
   The second car from South Africa is a 2/3 seater, in red and cream, and this has not been heard of for probably 30 years or more, but is recorded in the vintage register.
