“Trying to find a good-quality model version of an AC Aceca has taken me some time. When I saw the registration No. of this model, I had to look twice! I had the very great privilege of being able to drive the real car in 2002. It had been recently purchased by a good friend of mine.
You may, or may not be aware that VPL 441 featured on the AC Cars stand at the 1954 London Motor Show. It was also used as their demonstrator until it was sold to Donald Campbell, of land and water speed record fame. We took the Aceca along with several other classic cars to the Isle of Man in 2002 for the Manx Classic. This event was canceled owing to the after-effects of the 2001 Foot & Mouth outbreak. The picture attached shows the real car as it was in 2002.”
