Ace Cougar is the name of a type of bus built by Alternative Chassis Equipment in the UK in the early 1990s. It was designed to use Leyland National components wherever this was possible. It was not popular with operators and only two were built.

History

The first Ace Cougar was bodied by Wadham Stringer and sold to People's Provincial in 1990. Following Provincial's takeover by First Group it was used by First Hampshire and Dorset until 2004, and is now preserved. The second carried Willowbrook bodywork and was sold to West Midlands independent Cave's of Shirley in 1991.
