This rare Excalibur Roadster Series 4 is one of the most distinctive neo-classic automobiles of the twentieth century. Founded by designer Brooks Stevens in 1964, the Excalibur Automobile Corporation built exclusive, hand-crafted roadsters inspired by the legendary Mercedes-Benz SSK from the 1930s. Each car was produced by hand in limited numbers, making every example a true collector’s item.
The Series IV, produced between 1975 and 1979, with production continuing into the early 1980s, represents the peak of the Excalibur concept: timeless pre-war styling combined with modern American technology. Under the long bonnet lies a 5.0-liter V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering generous power and a deep, resonant sound that perfectly suits its dramatic appearance. Only 159 Roadsters were built within the entire Series IV production run, making this example one of the rarest versions. The rumble seat and semi-electric soft top make this a true summer classic that attracts attention at every event.
On the outside, this 1981 Excalibur Roadster features a beige/light yellow paintwork that highlights its flowing, organic body lines. The long bonnet with characteristic side exhaust pipes, rounded wings, rear-mounted spare wheel, and gleaming chrome bumpers, mirrors, and horn set give the car its unmistakable pre-war grandeur. Wire wheels with whitewall tires complete the look of a rolling work of art.
Inside, the warm brown leather interior creates a luxurious atmosphere. Ribbed seats, brown carpeting, and wooden interior panels with engraved details emphasize the hand-crafted quality. The steering wheel with Excalibur emblem, classically arranged instruments, and central console with automatic gear selector further enhance the sense of driving something truly special. The combination of the soft yellow-beige exterior and rich brown leather gives this Roadster a timeless elegance.
