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. The chassis was powered by a rear 'in line' mounted Perkins 6cyl 'phaser' turbo engine. 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 Warrior bodywork (a body rarely applied to new vehicles) and was sold to West Midlands independent Caves Bus Services in 1991.
