1956 AC Ace Zagato Coupe
Chassis #BEX 477 was shipped in 1958 to a Swiss dealership owned by Patthey. He commissioned Carrozzeria Zagato to make a unique body for his car which would run in the local races and the Pescara rally. Zagato bodied the car with their light-gauge aluminum and even gave it their trademark double bubble roof.
