G'day
You're right. Just checked my one and only AC saloon book 'AC Two-Litre
Saloons & Buckland Sports cars' and it says that it had a cast iron cylinder
head and alloy block. It was also fitted with a SOHC.
I am reminded that the engine was first introduced in 1919 and stayed in
production for the saloons until 1958.

Alloy block, iron head Patrick! I went after one of these a few years ago in
Qld - $4000. I didn't pursue as I didn't have space, & later heard it was
bought by someone who intended to junk the body & build an AC Ace replica on
it! (Now THAT's a disgrace!)

G'day
I agree as the AC saloons are lovely cars and with the AC all alloy engine
are also very light.
Hope someone buys it with a view of restoration.

You know, there's nothing that chaps my hyde more than some moron who thinks
he'll get more money by advertising a car like this as a "rat rod". This
car
looks complete as well. I mean he even stripped the paint just to prove it
is
all aluminum.
