context_page_description: The AC Petite is a three-wheeled British microcar with a rear-mounted 350 cc Villiers single cylinder, two-stroke engine. The car has a single bench seat seating two adults, and was said to be capable of 60 mpg‑imp to 70 mpg‑imp and 40 mph.
  There were two versions of the car.

In 1955 a Mark II version was launched, incorporating minor changes to the exterior trim, a slightly more powerful Villiers 28B engine and 12-inch wheels front and rear.
  Approximately 4000 AC Petites were built.
