Day 1 of our 1960 AC Aceca barn find clean. After 35 years in storage the owner has decided it’s time to get a full assessment carried out on the car with a view of either restoring or recommissioning.

John and Paul have arrived to our Rendlesham hangar with our latest addition to the workshops, our 1960 AC Aceca barn find.
First things first, we have been asked to carry out a full and thorough re-clean of the car, inside and out. The owner would like to remove 35 years of dust build up so we can get a good insight into what condition the car is currently in.
Once clean, the car will be transported to our Pettistree workshops where it will undergo a full assessment and to report on all of our findings.
We will also test the engine to see what, if any, damage was caused when the head gasket blew 35 years ago.
Barn Find: 1960 AC Aceca BE 812
May 13, 2020
Arriving into our Suffolk workshops very soon we have our very special and rare 1960 AC Aceca BE 812 barn find.
The car has been dry stored since it was taken off the road in 1985. Previously owned and residing in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia the car was shipped to the UK in 1962 and has remained with the same owner ever since.
We will be working alongside the family who own this beautiful car to assess it’s current condition and come up with a plan which may see the possible return to the UK roads in the not too distant future.
