Notes
A unique find. This is a prototype version that was being considered at some point in the production run of the standard version issued (1958-63). Finished in vivid yellow, this AC Aceca is a unique item in yellow, with an interior fitted and a plain riveted base. Small shaped spun wheels and well-shaped treaded tyres.
Sadly, this model never made it beyond the ‘consideration’ stage.
A few minor marks and without silver details.
With written provenance dated 42 years ago from a well-respected collector and dealer who is sadly no longer with us.
