The V51 was first introduced in March,1951, with the characteristic ‘bug eye’ headlamp as a ‘Tringle’ (rod-geared model) and production ran until September, 1952. It is believed that there are less than a handful in the UK.

This example is one of the last V51 models produced and is in an extremely original condition. First registered on 11th July, 1952, and sold by the dealer, E. Antras from Muret near Toulouse, we can see by the vehicle declaration document that it was owned by a farmer, Mr Julia in the Haute Garonne region of southern France, since at least February 1958. The ACMA V51 is regarded highly in collectors circles. The absolute replication of the early Italian models but with the unique headlight set up was a one-off design that was never repeated. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an in-demand model that seldom comes up for sale.
