This is a photo of the orginal 2 seater sport car originally from England "1961 AC Ace" however nothing is the same in the model to the original 4 cylinder.

Back in December putting in the motor. The blurred guy is Benny!

427 CID Blueprinted Wayne Calvert of Denton, Texas used his dynamometer to develop 400+ HP.
