1929 AC Acedes-Magna tourer 65 bhp, 1,991 cc SOHC inline six-cylinder engine, four-speed manual transmission, live axle front and rear suspension with semi-elliptic leaf-spring suspension, and rear-wheel mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 113 in. Despite the successful efforts of S.F. Edge in promoting the company’s cars through competition, AC Cars Ltd. could not escape the worldwide economic collapse of 1929. It had soon gone into what was described as “voluntary liquidation,” and its assets were sold in 1930 to the Hurlock brothers, who had wanted the company’s factory for use as a warehouse for their haulage business. The future of AC automobiles, for a time, was very much in doubt.

The last model produced under Edge’s visionary leadership was the Acedes-Magna, which employed the famous overhead-cam, six-cylinder engine that had first been developed by AC Co-Founder John Weller; the company would use this engine in various forms for 40 years. It was a swift and sporting tourer that had very attractive modern bodywork, and it competed readily with such legends as the Bentley 3-Litre for space in the garages of gentleman sportsmen.
