After WW2 ended, AC resumed the building of low-volume quality cars with
this gently sporling 2.0-litre saloon. A four-door was added to the
range for 1953, by which time the already ageing triple-carb AC engine's
output had risen from 74bhp to 85bhp. Bodies are aluminium over a wood
frame and steel chassis; suspension also harks back to days past with
solid axles and transverse leaf springs at each end of the car. Al least
the dampers are hydraulic: an AC first. Cable rear brakes are fitted to
early cars, wilt an all-hydraulic system from 1951.
