History
This AC was delivered new in 1957 in Switzerland with a black body and a red interior; at the time, it was the only one in the country with this specification. It competed in races during the 1950s and 1960s (details at the end of the advert) before being fully restored in 2012. The car has covered just 1,000 km since then and is in concours condition. The engine has just been rebuilt by a specialist, as evidenced by the invoice (approximately €45,000). The car is therefore fully ready to hit the road.
