Description
The Hawk AC Ace Replica is a hand-built homage to one of Britain’s most iconic sports cars, combining timeless design with carefully considered engineering. Constructed by its first and only owner, this example was completed and successfully IVA tested in 2020, marking the culmination of a meticulous and well-documented build. Registered on 1st February 2020 and accompanied by its personalised number plate, the car presents a rare opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully assembled and cherished replica with genuine history.
Power is delivered by a fully rebuilt Triumph Vitesse Mk II engine, chosen for its period character and reliability, paired with a Frontline Type 9 five-speed gearbox that offers a refined and engaging driving experience. The car was built using entirely new suspension and braking components, ensuring both confidence on the road and modern usability, while retaining the classic driving feel expected of a car of this style. It currently benefits from an MOT valid until August 2026.
A comprehensive photographic record accompanies the vehicle, documenting the build process step by step and providing a fascinating insight into its construction. Further supporting its history is confirmation of the year of manufacture from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, along with a collection of invoices from Hawk Cars Ltd totalling over £11, 000, evidencing the quality of workmanship and investment throughout the build.
The car is offered with a substantial history file, including the Hawk 289 Construction Manual, allowing the next custodian to confidently maintain and enjoy the vehicle. With just one owner from new, this example stands as a testament to careful craftsmanship and enthusiasm.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a beautifully presented and well-documented Hawk AC Ace Replica, ideal for both driving enjoyment and show display. Viewings are strictly by appointment only.
