There were twelve of these fixed-head coupes shown in the AC sales ledgers for 1933 and a further two for 1934. It is believed only two now survive, and the other car was in a sorry state (but restorable) when exported to France a few years back. Actually, it is incorrect to say the body type is the same as the Hurlock Monte Carlo car (1933/1934). The car was APC 94 - it had a similar body but with cycle-wings, no running boards, different rear wings and lacked the faux irons. The car for auction has doorsills, the RAC car did not, thus doors and bulkhead were different also.
William Hurlock took APC 94 into the RAC rally and got 4th place in 1933. The car was used by The Motor in 1934 who published a road-test report. The racing driver Enid Riddell entered the car for the Monte Carlo Rally. It's unclear who loaned her the car or if she bought it. They finished, but were 52nd out of some 160 entries. There was not a 'Hurlock Monte Carlo car 1933/1934' but the entry was in the 'newish' Hurlock era and, as said, the same car from the RAC driven by Hurlock.....semantics, I know!
L69 (AXO 270) is the car now coming to auction. It is a 16/66. I believe the RAC/Monte Carlo car was a 16/80. Comparison of bodies are shown below and a photo of L38 (APC 94) from The Motor 1934:
