Excalibur Coupe
Adrian's Excalibur
This car is loosely based on a GT40, the kit was
originally made by Fibrefab in Germany in the 70’s and
was meant to have a VW engine in the rear.
ACM imported the kit from 1981 and then manufactured
it over here, it did not sell well, it then moved to Seraph
Cars who created the backbone steel tube chassis for
Ford mechanics and Ford engines positioned in the
front, it then moved on to Clive Clark’s Excalibur Cars
but never achieved it’s full potential, I believe there are
only about 6 in existence.
The donor was a 1976 Ford Cortina with the registration
OOY 560R, the car was stripped and rebuilt in 2002 by a
person in Rainham. I bought it from Evesham where it
had further £20,000 of work done including the paint job
and a personalised number, also adding a tuned 2.1 litre
Pinto producing 176 bhp which is placed low and well
back making it nearly mid-engined so even though it is
heavy for a kit it still corners like it is on rails.
