AC 16-80 Sports Roadster (1938) in Silver (1:43 scale)
- To style the new sports model, the Hurlock brothers consulted Freddie March, a keen Brooklands racer & future Goodwood circuit founder. March’s inspired designs set the style for this desirable sports car range that AC marketed as ‘ The Saville Row of Motordom.’ The 16/80 was very successful in all types of pre-war competition including both rallies & trials. Counting the supercharged 16/90 model, just 44 of these desirable two-seaters were produced between 1936-39. This model was based on the car now owned by Lord March, the grandson of its original stylist. Our model is finished in Silver.
