Description
EXCALIBUR ROADSTER WHITE INTERIOR WHITE 1988 … MAGNIFICENT …
THE STORY BEGINS IN 1963 WHEN THE GENIUS DESIGNER BROOKE STEVENS DESIGNS A SHOW CAR INSPIRED BY THE MERCEDES SS PHAETON OF 1928.
A PROTOTYPE BUILT IN ONLY 6 WEEKS WILL BE THE STAR OF THE NEW YORK AUTO SHOW IN 1963.
PRESENTED ON THE STUDABAKER STAND, IT DREW ALL EYES SO MUCH THAT THE CAR WAS SOON RELEGATED TO A CORNER OUT OF THE WAY.
THE FIRST CUSTOMERS WHO PLACED ORDERS WERE STEVE MCCQUEEN AND JOHNN WAYNE.
THE HEAD OF STUDABAKER COULD HARDLY BEAR TO SEE THESE PRESTIGIOUS CLIENTS SLIP AWAY.
BROOKE STEVENS THEN CREATED IN 1963 THE EXCALIBUR MOTORS BRAND IN MILWAUKEE.
THE FIRST CARS BUILT, SERIES 1 AND 2, LOOKED A LOT LIKE THE MERCEDES SSK SINCE BROOKE STEVENS OWNED ONE IN HIS PERSONAL GARAGE.
THEN THE CARS EVOLVED TO FINALLY ADOPT A CHEVROLET CORVETTE ENGINE AND GEARBOX.
WHICH MEANS THAT TODAY IT IS VERY EASY TO FIND SPARES.
SERIES 4 AND 5 WERE THE FINAL CULMINATION OF THESE EXCEPTIONAL CARS THAT STILL ROLL 42 YEARS LATER AS ON THE FIRST DAY.
THE 1980S, HOWEVER, PREDICTED THE END OF A REIGN, THAT OF THE AMERICAN DREAM.
ONLY 97 EXCALIBURS WERE BUILT IN 1985, THAT IS 6 ROADSTERS AND 91 PHAETONS.
THE FINAL CHANT OF THE SWAN, PRODUCTION CEASED DEFINITIVELY IN 1989.
NEVER AGAIN WILL IT BE POSSIBLE TO BUILD THIS MYTHICAL EVOCATION OF THE MERCEDES SSK AND 540 K, WHICH TODAY ARE WORTH A FORTUNE.
THIS WHITE 1988 ROADSTER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.
FRENCH REGISTRATION DOCUMENT IN MY NAME.
HARD TOP AVAILABLE.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION OK.
A SPARE SET OF KEYS.
NO COSTS TO EXPECT.
THIS MAGNIFICENT AUTOMOBILE ART OBJECT REPRESENTS THE QUINTESSENCE OF BEAUTY, NOBILITY, RARITY, ELEGANCE AND SENSUALITY.
