AC ACE V8 (Brookland)

[Shamea2]

Its been a slightly disappointing six months.

Hopefully all sorted now.

New rear shocks and springs
Bespoke radiator fitted.
New alarm and immobiliser
Electrical fault caused by a loose earth wire..........days of my life I will never get back 📷

All part of the fun though.

Never seen one of those before. Looks a bit Camaro / mx5 / tvr ish all mixed in. What’s the engine in it, I see there are a few different V8 options including supercharged and the Lotus 3.5 out of the Esprit. Very nice

Hi, Its the ford 5ltr supercharged engine. about 320/340 bhp

[Mr lestat]

Very nice. I used to have a 400 chimaera myself. Is it similar build quality or are they a league above ?

[Shamea2]

Much better build quality.
Mine suffers from a few window/door electrical issues, mainly due to the motors not being up to the job.

[Mr lestat]

Tvr had a lot of “off the shelf” Vauxhall parts, switches etc. Is yours similar or are they all bespoke.

[Shamea2]

Most of the parts are off the shelf Ford parts. The radiator should of been Mustang or Ford Granada, but we couldn't match it, so had to have one made up.
The wing mirrors are Citroen, an odd switch Mercedes. front indicator light cluster Porsche.. etc. But mainly Ford.

[Mr lestat]

Lovely op. Be nice to see the interior if you have a pic ? Cheers
