AC 16-80 Sports Roadster (1938) in Silver (1:43 scale by Brooklin Models LDM63)
This diecast model AC 16-80 Sports Roadster (1938) is Silver and features working wheels.
To style the new sports model, the Hurlock brothers consulted Freddie March, a keen Brooklands racer and 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 and 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.
