Introduced in 1947, the AC 2-Litre was a spacious and well-equipped touring car endowed with respectable (80mph) performance courtesy of the firm's long-established and ruggedly built overhead-cam six. Breathing through triple SU carburettors, the 1,991cc engine produced 76bhp and was coupled to a four-speed Moss gearbox.
A variety of body styles - some coachbuilt - were available on the 2-Litre chassis, including a four-door model from late 1952. Production continued, to special order only, until 1958, by which time approximately 1,200 had been produced.

Previously registered 'LXL 261', this AC 2-Litre saloon was first registered on 2nd January 1951 to a Mr Poutney of the Meyer Liquid Company, London W1.
Contained within a large box file, accompanying documentation includes a (copy) buff logbook listing previous keepers in the 1970s, sundry 1980s bills from AC Cars, a quantity of expired MoTs, and a V5C Registration Certificate.

The cockpit is a wonderful place to sit, a delightfully patinated ox blood red interior with contrasting white smiths gauges. The motorcar had a significant amount of work in the 1990’s and the AC blue exudes a patina throughout the cellulose paintwork. Mechanically the motorcar runs, drives, starts and stops as it should, and we would view as running restoration project.
