1958 AC Aceca

This LHD 1958 AC Aceca comes with very little history but is UK registered as of 2016.

The chassis and engine numbers are matching items.

The engine, gearbox and propshaft are on a separate pallet, and there is a crate of mechanical components and various bits of trim accompanying the car.

This vehicle is currently in storage at CARS Europe BV. If you require a quote for shipping anywhere in the world, please contact them direct (details below).

The winning bidder will receive a receipt for the final hammer value, as their legal proof of purchase.

Unless otherwise stated, we have not tried to start or drive the car and cannot vouch for its mechanical viability or functionality. It will require recommissioning prior to road use and is sold ‘as seen’.

It must be collected within 7-days of the auction end. Storage charges (€70 + local VAT per car per week) will commence from the sixth day following the auction end.  These must be paid in full prior to the vehicle’s collection or onward transportation.

Collection and viewings are strictly by appointment only.

Please send an email to the storage centre to ensure vehicle(s) are ready at time of collection. Photographic ID will be required at time of collection. If a third party is collecting for you, then written authorisation is required in advance from you and photographic ID of the third party is required at the time of collection. 

CARS Europe BV will contact you after the balance payment is received to confirm onward transport requirements. For enquiries about import tax and shipping contact Madam Joanna Herlihy, +31 (0) 252 682 526, +44 7483 433912, [email protected].

The bodywork has numerous dinks and dents to show for its years of life but, as it is aluminium, it has survived the passage of time with rather more success than steel cars of a similar vintage might achieve.

The car comes with 5 wire wheels, all of which have tyres.

The interior is, variously, missing, damaged or otherwise no longer serviceable.

However, it is more or less structurally intact, so the seat frames and door cards look as if they might serve as templates for reupholstering the vehicle.

The dashboard has been removed but accompanies the car, so it too may be used as a template for a replacement.

Parts of the floor pan are missing but may be present in the accompanying collection of parts.

The engine, gearbox and propshaft have been removed and are currently on a pallet, along with sundry mechanical items and bits of trim.

In common with many of the cars from this collection, this example comes with very little paperwork or history.

It does, however, come with a current (original) V5C UK registration document.

We think the rarity, pedigree and relative completeness of this vehicle will make it a very viable restoration project for someone looking to recapture some or all of this fine car’s former glory.

We’re confident to offer this fine car for auction with an estimate of €35,000 - €45,000.

The car is currently in storage, you can see a picture of the collection as it stands today at the very bottom of the photo gallery. 

Viewing is always encouraged, and this particular car is located at CARS Europe HQ in Nieuw Vennep in the Netherlands. Viewings are STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT and they are open weekdays between 9am – 5pm. To book an appointment, please contact Ms Joanna Herlihy (email: [email protected], or tel: +31(0)252 682 526).
