The AC Petite was a three-wheeled British microcar built by AC Cars from 1952, with a rear-mounted 350 cc Villiers single-cylinder two-stroke engine. A single bench seat held two adults, and it was said to manage about 40 mph and between 60 and 70 miles per imperial gallon. There were two versions. From 1952 to 1955 the car had a Villiers 27B engine and wheels of two sizes, with 18-inch spoked rears and an 8-inch front. In 1955 a Mark II appeared with minor changes to the exterior trim, a slightly more powerful Villiers 28B engine and 12-inch wheels at the front and rear. Approximately 4,000 AC Petites were built until 1957.
