AC Royal 12/4hp Two Seat & Dickey 1925

1925 AC Royal 11.9hp 4-cylinder Two-Seat and Dickey. NOW SOLD - More cars wanted for commission sale. Simply gorgeous restoration by the present owner. Low mileage since completion. Purchased from an Estate when owned for approximately 40 years, restoration half done. Shiny nickel bits were mostly absent, presumably being re-plated but never collected.

Having contacted all the local platers, the present owner resolved to replace them with all-new nickel parts. Re-cored radiator cost £2000 – expensive, due to the shape of these lovely pre-Hurlock brothers AC cars. Everything checked and rebuilt since it was not possible to refer to the previous owner's Estate.

All new absolutely delightful leather upholstery by Julian Taylor even using original internals, and includes new mohair hood & side screens £6,500. New nickel : £500. Traditionally and beautifully coachpainted by hand with Craftmaster paint by the owner - a much experienced restorer of this period of car over 40 years!

1496cc Anzani side valve engine just rebuilt at Anzani specialists Nical Engineering - now running in - all crack tested and ceramic sealed block and head. New beaded edge tyres. New running boards made including step. New aluminium armoured wiring. Rear axle standard upgrade just done (steel support inside the differential to the worm & wheel) Three speed gearbox in unit with the worm axle.

Quarter elliptic suspension. Brand new battery January 2020. Cover included. Truly superb car.
