AC 2-Litre

AC Cars resumed production after WWII with the 2-Litre, using an updated version of their pre-war six-cylinder engine designed by John Weller in 1919. This remarkably advanced engine featured a single overhead camshaft and would remain in production until 1963. The 2-Litre was available as a drophead coupe or saloon, all hand-built in Thames Ditton. Production was limited due to AC's small-scale operations, with only a few cars completed each week. The model represented traditional British craftsmanship and engineering before AC became famous for the Ace and Cobra.
