1938 AC 16/70 Drophead Coupe

  • Chassis Number: L604
  • Engine Number: UMR 558
This example was sold new by Cook & Palmer Ltd. to a Mrs. E. Thorne, in Middlesex. John Moir purchased it from a collector in Kansas City, Case Bonebrake many years later. Mr. Bonebrake had shown the car at the Texas Grand Classic in Dallas in 1966.

Mr. Moir had the car restored, finishing it in three shades of pale blue and dark blue leather upholstery and a tan top. The engine is a 19911cc SOHC six-cylinder engine offering 70 horsepower. There is a four-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drum brakes.
