The Black Pearl: 1961 AC Greyhound Coupé

ScreenShot007

This 1961 AC Greyhound (chassis BEF2526) is said to have 41,617 miles from new and to have been despatched new on the 13/04/1961 in the same color combo (Black Pearl on beige) in which it’s shown now. The first owner was a new zealander official allocated in the UK.

Then the car came back to NZ along with its owner in 1962: the first owner held it for nearly 31 years. It’s basically a car which has been restored starting from a very good base: the leather should be still the original one and the original handbook and workshop manual will came with the car to the new owner.

The splendid two-litre, twin cam, inline-six engine looks immaculate and is mated to a four speed manual transmission equipped with a Laycock overdrive. A truly exceptional car for a british cars enthusiast. Find it for sale at AU$119,500 (today $105,000) here in Mitcham, Australia.

  1. Hi
    Caught my eye for sale as I am refurbing my AC Ace which was originally black pearl exterior and a red leather interior
    Whilst I have a later AC cars colour chart I don’t have the early one with this colour in
    I noticed this greyhound had an owner for many years before it was restored and wondered if you could help me out with a paint code for the black pearl colour as I assuming the new paint colour on this car was matched to its original colour
    Many thanks in anticipation
