1949 AC 2-Litre Sports Special :
"The unique rakish Two-Seater Special on offer is based on a right-hand drive 1949 example of the AC 2-litre Saloon produced by the Thames Ditton concern between 1947 and 1958. Dubbed the Electra, this interesting sports car features: a shortened version of the standard box section AC chassis, a later semi floating ENV rear axle (that enabled full hydraulic brakes with split front/rear operation to be installed) and wire wheel hubs from a pre-WW2 AC. The bespoke boat-tailed body was constructed in aluminium into which the standard brass AC 2-litre radiator cowl was neatly blended. In recent times the wheels have been shot blasted, painted and shod with new radial tyres. The wiring has been renewed and the headlamps converted to double dipping operation. The engine has been checked over and a new water pump fitted. The later Aceca exhaust manifolds look good and ensure better breathing. The mudguards have been replaced and the whole car repainted in Dark Blue to a high standard. The sprung steering wheel has been refurbished, the pre-war seats are upholstered in Red leather and the doors trimmed in vinyl. The dashboard is populated with period AC Buckland instruments."
