• Description: AC Racing Special 1924

Englishman Gordon Rossiter was given 1,000 pounds sterling as a 21st birthday present, which he spent on converting an old 1924 2.0-litre six-cylinder AC into a racing car. At the Blackwell hill climb he set a new class record and in 1937 he competed in hill climbs at Rushmere Hill and Shelsley Walsh.

During a race at Donington Park Rossiter was clocked at a top speed of 105 mph (170 km/h). The following night he suddenly died of meningitis. His parents kept the car in memory of their son until after World War Two. Later owners raced the car until 1967, when the AC was added to the collection. Louwman Museum
