Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / Re: 1925 AC Six for sale (restoration required)

« on: September 28, 2022, 10:33:32 »

16/XX refers to the engine that was fitted.

The AC Six was a "16 HP" engine according to the RAC taxation class:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_horsepower

16 HP had no relevance to the engine's real output, so AC and many other manufacturers used designations such as 16/66, 16/70, 16/80 etc. 
16/66 = 16HP taxation class, 66 HP output at the flywheel (these numbers were sometimes optimistic!)
16/80 = 16HP taxation class, 80 HP output at the flywheel

The Anzani/Cubitt/AC 4 cylinder was in the 12 HP taxation class.

General Forum / Re: AC Prototype

« on: April 26, 2022, 09:09:19 »

There have been a series of articles in ACtion on MA200, which among many other things firmly put to bed the story that it was a prototype for the flat six.  Join the club, get the info!  The annual subscription costs less than than a tank of fuel.  There's another short article in the current issue.

There may be a setting on your camera or phone to set the file size to be smaller, or you can resize them in another programme, such as the basic photo editor in Microsoft Office or a free download such as Irfanview: https://www.irfanview.com/
