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This car is loosely based on a GT40, the kit was originally made by Fibrefab in Germany in the 70’s and was meant to have a VW engine in the rear.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.
