Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / AC ENGINE UMB 2033 for sale + Tracing a 2 litre

« on: June 13, 2018, 21:51:09 »

A chap called David Stacey has an AC Engine UMB 2033 for sale and other AC 2 litre parts - Window glass, hub caps etc.

He is clearing out a relatives shed/yard.

He also has fond memories of an AC 2 litre, a 4 door that belonged to his father - picture attached. He would be keen to know if it still exists.

If any of this is of any interest or you have any info on the 2 litre PM me and I can forward on David's email details.

Best wishes.

Paul

Engine number UMB 2033 belonged in the 13th, 4 door saloon to be made by AC Cars. The registration year was 1953. The car chassis number was EH2033. The car was painted unusually in the factory in two-tone. The predominant colours were grey exterior with a red interior.

General Forum / AC (Electric)

« on: January 29, 2017, 19:33:56 »

Hi Mark,
   
   I have just been through this whole drill with success.
   
   I have copied and pasted the part of my letter to DVLA that referred to this below.
   
   I also had an engine number sorted and provided photographic evidence of the chassis and engine number, the VIN plate, a record from a book I found and a couple of other pictures.
   All of this was so that they could quite clearly see the vehicle was NOT electric. I also included a copy of the log book that they issued me that was incorrect.
   
   A couple of weeks later I got a correctly numbered and named V5 - quite simple really.
   
   Good luck but it should not really be a problem.
   
   I would be quite happy for you to quote my reference number (It is in the paragraph below) as a case in point where it has been accepted by the DVLA that an AC is not electric:-)
   
   I think the rule of thumb is give them as much photographic evidence as possible:-)
   
   Need any help drop me a PM.
   
   Best wishes.

   Dear Sirs,
   
   Please find enclosed my V5C that has 2 incorrect entries.
   
   Firstly, the make of my car is an AC not ‘AC (Electric)’ as stated on the V5. I have noticed this issue on the AC Owners club forums and that the change can be made manually at the DVLA to reflect the actual make of manufacture."

Hi
   
   Does anyone have a scan of an AC Paint Chip Card Book for the ACE?
   
   I have the list of colours from the Restorers Guide but no visual clues?
   
   Many thanks in advance.
   
   Paul
   
   PS, Since my last subject I have acquired most of the instruments and a full set of original ACE wheels at 16inch x 48 spoke.

   Hi,
   
   This is my first time on the forum.
   
   I am looking for detailed information on the AC ACE
   
   Specifically, I am trying to acquire a full set of instruments and switches and wondered if anyone our there has them or... can give me the part numbers, make and model?
   
   Is there an owners manual or workshop manual for the ACE. If so, anyone know where I could get one?
   
   I need to get a set of 16 inch 48 spoke wheels? Anyone know where I can buy them?
   
   Finally, is there a resource for modern paint codes for the AC ACE
   colours?
   
   Thanks for any help with my various quests in advance.
   
   Best wishes.
   
   Paul.
