Description
1951 AC 2-Litre Saloon
Registration no. UXG 747
Chassis no. EL1562
Introduced in 1947, the AC 2-Litre was a spacious and well-equipped touring car endowed with
respectable (80mph) performance courtesy of the firm's long-established and ruggedly built
overhead-cam six. Breathing through triple SU carburettors, the 1, 991cc engine produced 76bhp
and was coupled to a four-speed Moss gearbox. A variety of body styles - some coachbuilt - were
available on the 2-Litre chassis, including a four-door model from late 1952. Production continued,
to special order only, until 1958, by which time approximately 1, 200 had been produced.
Previously registered 'LXL 261', this AC 2-Litre saloon was first registered on 2nd January 1951 to
a Mr Poutney of the Meyer Liquid Company, London W1.
Contained within a large box file, accompanying documentation includes a (copy) buff logbook
listing previous keepers in the 1970s; sundry 1980s bills from AC Cars; a quantity of expired MoTs;
a V5C Registration Certificate.
The cockpit is a wonderful place to sit, a delightfully patinated ox blood red interior with contrasting
white smiths gauges.
The motorcar had a significant amount of work in the 1990’s and the AC blue exudes a patina throughout the cellulose paintwork.
Mechanically the motorcar runs, drives, starts and stops as it should, and we would view as running
restoration project.
