The AC Owners’ Club will mark a raft of marque related anniversaries with a return to the site of AC’s factory later this month.
This year’s ACOC national weekend will take place in Thames Ditton on 20-21 August with the club celebrating the centenary of AC’s move to the famous Esher site and the 90th anniversary of the AC Sprint Car.
Also being commemorated is the golden anniversary of the 2.6-litre Ford engined AC Ace, which was launched in 1961, while the weekend’s festivities will be based at the Ferry Works facory (pictured above in 1922), where AC’s were made from 1911, before production switched to Thames Ditton.
The visit will mark the first time the club has been given access to the Ferry Works factory (pictured today,above) where examples of six seminal AC models - including an Auto-Carrier, a Sociable, a 12/40 Sports, an Empire, a 6-Cyl and a Sprint Car - will be on display.
