The Appeal

Originally born in the 60’s of American industrial designer Brooks Stevens’ desire to produce a car styled after 1920’s Mercedes sports cars, the Excalibur brand was set up in his home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin and produced cars until 1990, the year from which this example hails.

Even now, the models have a unique and enduring appeal that appeals to automotive enthusiasts. Its distinctive design features a long bonnet, prominent grille, and sweeping lines and, as a package, offers a blend of timeless elegance and modern convenience. Overall it stands out as a symbol of grandeur and exclusivity.
More commonly seen as two seater cars, the Series V Touring Sedan has the added practicality of a four seat cabin and is thought to have been limited to a production run of just 101 cars making this a very rare beast. With a 5 litre V8, a sumptuous interior and those unique lines, it’s sure to attract attention wherever it goes.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
€0 to €9,999 €100.00
€10,000 to €49,999 €250.00
€50,000 to €99,999 €500.00
€100,000 + €1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
