How do you pronounce 'Aceca'?

[corporalsparrow]

I'm sure the entire classic car world knows this, except for me. So come on, is it:

Asseeka? Ace-ka? Ace-sa?

Or maybe an Italian sounding…Achecha!

[Willhire89]

I have always known them as AC Asseekas - got a lift in one once that still had it's 100D2 engine

[TooMany2cvs]

I've always gone with "A seeker". Or "those bloody gorgeous coupe Aces"

[52classic]

Remembering from my days owning a Dinky Toy one...... I think it is Ace - ess - ah

[Sid's Dad]

I've always struggled with this one, too! I settled on 'ace-a-ca' but I've never been sure. Sounds like I'm not alone, seeing as we now have about five different pronunciations.....

This, or "Ace-eeka", which sounds almost exactly the same when squashing the syllables together.

[72twink]

I always hear A-seeker sometimes Ace-eeka at club meets.

[TheRealFingers99]

Probably Ah-cee-ka.

But, then, the English can't ever pronounce Lancia correctly.

It's easy. Aceca, pronounced "A.C. car"

[williamp]

Is it a real one???

i pronounce it A-seek-a, but I'm frequently wrong

[corporalsparrow]

So the consensus is….

A-seeker. Or asseeka.

But then we haven't considered Asscar. Or Arse seeker?

ay sek ah?

[itsrodders]

Chum refers to his as the "Ace See Ay".

[LordBretSinclair]

Jake Sully would call it "I See You"

I've always seen it as Ace C A too

[ClassicMotorNut]

I've always known it as the A-seek-ah, although it seems illogical that it's not the Ace-kah, seeing as it's derived from the Ace.

...and Wikipedia is never wrong.

I've only ever heard them referred to a-see-ka, with a short initial A.

Hard (northern or Italian) or soft (southern) A?

Ay or Ah?

[longshot]

a seeker
