AC 428 Frua

The car present at Rétromobile is single in more than one way. Carrying the chassis number CFX4, it acts of a prototype, which, in addition to its exposure to the living room of Geneva, was used for the realization of the booklet of the model. The cockpit profited from a particular treatment, which benefits in the dashboard and saddlery. It should be noted that it comprises only two seats, the capacity of the gasoline tank having been increased. Moreover, we are in the presence of one of the rare specimens with control on the left and manual gear box.

With step more than 25 000 kilometers to the meter, this half-compartment AC 428 appears in a remarkable state of origin. It had only two owners in forty years of existence, two Swiss collectors.

With the passing of years, the car was modified and improved. Mechanics received characteristics specific to the engines of competition: two oil radiators, a system of reinforced cooling and a sophisticated suspension. The power is about 400 CH. Halibrand wheels were also assembled.
