A.C. 16/50, 16/66, 16/60, 16/70, 16/80, 16/90, Ace
The Hurlock brothers had acquired AC in 1930, and using their engineering skills went slowly back into production in answer to a loyal customer base who wanted more cars. The venerable 2-litre 16hp engine was upgraded to 60bhp with 80bhp versions available. New front suspension was given, an underslung chassis, 4-speed Moss gearbox, and some very handsome bodies by AC (Acedes) Coachwork. It has been suggested that AC acquired some SS chassis and fitted their own engine into it; SS were the only other 16hp car on the market. Four AC Sixteens were entered in the 1933 RAC Rally winning it outright, gaining the Coupe D'Elegance and finishing all four cars in the top ten. Production continued until the War intervened after which the new AC 2-litre took over.
AC 16-66 1935 DHC front
AC 16/66 1935. The Hurlock brothers had improved the AC chassis, fitted a 4-speed gearbox, and uprated the 6-cylinder engine to 60bhp, with 80bhp versions optional. Some inspiration for the Sixteen may have come from acquiring an SS chassis, which also carried a 16hp engine.
 AC 16-66 1935 DHC rear
AC 16/66 1935. AC produced this drophead coupe body themselves, coachbuilt by their own AC (Acedes) works.
 AC 16-70 1937 Ace
AC 16/70 Ace 1937. The 'Ace' was one of many versions of the AC Sixteen sold during the 1930s, all using the 16hp 2-litre engine. Production was slow under the Hurlock brothers ownership, and cars were almost hand made. For the 1933 RAC Rally AC fielded 4 AC Sixteens, winning the event outright, getting all 4 cars to finish within the top 10, and getting the cup for Concours d'Elegance.
 AC 16-70 March Special 1936 front
AC 16/70 March Special 1936. Freddie March designed this Special Sports Tourer for the AC 16/70. He was the owner of a coachbuilding business but let AC build these 'March' Specials
 AC 16-70 Sports Drophead 1935 front
AC 16/70 Sports Drophead 1935. Powered by the Paul Weller designed 1,991cc ohv engine, given triple SU carbs to output 70bhp for this model
AC 16-70 Sports Drophead 1935 rear
AC 16/70 Sports Drophead 1935. Coachwork was carried out by AC Cars own Acedes coachbuilders
 AC 16-80 Drophead 1938 front
AC 16/80 Drophead 1938. From 1936 to 1939 just 42 AC Sixteen were produced with differences in power, 60 bhp, 70 bhp, 80 bhp or the 90 bhp supercharged SWB 16/90
 AC 16-80 Drophead 1938 rear
AC 16/80 Drophead 1938. From 1936 to 1939 just 42 AC Sixteen were produced many having coachwork by AC Acedes.
 s_AC 16-66 1935 DHC side
AC 16/66 1935 DHC bodied by AC (Acedes) coachworks. The similarity with concurrent SS cars, also of 16hp, may not have been coincidental!
 s_AC 16-70 Sports Drophead 1935 side
AC 16/70 Sports Drophead 1935. It has been suggested that AC acquired some chassis from Standard cars (like William Lyons SS cars), and that the AC Sixteen may have had a chassis derived from the Standard, but it was more expensive than the SS1
