}}The AC Petite is a three-wheeled British microcar with a rear-mounted {{cvt|350|cc|abbr=on}} Villiers single cylinder, two-stroke engine.[1] The car has a single bench seat seating two adults, and was said to be capable of {{convert|60|mpgimp|abbr=on}} to {{convert|70|mpgimp|abbr=on}} and {{convert|40|mph|0|abbr=on}}.[2]

There were two versions of the car. Between 1953 and 1955 the car was fitted with a Villiers 27B engine and two different sizes of wheel; the rears were {{convert|18|in|mm|adj=on}} spoked wheels whilst the front was only {{convert|8|in|mm}}.[1] In 1955 a Mark II version was launched, incorporating minor changes to the exterior trim, a slightly more powerful Villiers 28B engine and {{convert|12|in|mm|adj=on}} wheels front and rear.[1]

Approximately 4000 AC Petites were built.{{sfnp|Rees|2013|p=18}}
