HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR WITH A EXCALIBURNEWS FEATURE

CCCR recently had the pleasure of working on a Excalibur once owned by the Hollywood actor Tony Curtis. These are especially rare in the UK and were roughly styled on the Mercedes SSK by Brook Stevens the same designer who designed many things Inc the Miller beer logo. With a three hundred horse power V8 Studebaker propelling the car to a sub 5 second 0-60 and for those who no longer have much value for their life a top speed in excess of 150 MPH! The car is with out doubt agricultural to drive but never fails to make you smile, it also sounds glorious, feels bullet proof and you just cant help but wonder who else has also ridden in this car around Hollywood boulevard.... What I especially liked was that the car is in unrestored condition and has spent most of its life in a museum before coming to the UK, so this means that Mr Curtis and friends would have actually admired the car as it is now, sat on these actual seats and looked through that windscreen, even the tyres look original!  a very special car indeed and one that may well be up for sale soon too......
