Introduced in 1953 and designed by John Tojeiro the Ace used a light ladder type tubular frame, all independant suspension, and an open two seater body, possibly inspired by the Ferrari Barchetta. Originally powered by a straight six 1991cc AC overhead cam engine. with an output of 100bhp,.
From 1956 a 120bhp 2 litre S6 OHV Bristol 120bhp engine with 3 downdraught carburettors and slick four-speed gearbox, giving 116mph top speed and a 0-60mph time in 9 seconds. Overdrive was available from 1956 and front disc brakes were an option from 1957, although they were later standardised.
In 1961 a new 2.6-litre (2,553 cc (155.8 cu in)) straight-six 'Ruddspeed' option was available, adapted by Ken Rudd from the unit used in the Ford Zephyr. It used three Weber or SU carburettors and either a 'Mays' or an iron cast head. This setup boosted the car's performance further, with some versions tuned to 170 bhp
