If you said you had no idea, I'd agree, except this is my blog and I know the answer. If you said a Rolls-Royce, you'd also be correct to a point. This is the Black Cuillin by that, until recently, unknown British coachbuilder Eadon Green........
Based on a V12 Rolls Wraith, this custom job was a concept to show the world just what Eadon Green was all about. Looks to me like a company rebodying a modern car to make it look like something from way back in time. But as I said, it's just a concept.
At the recent Geneva auto show, EG showed their first production car, the Zeclat (a name which means exactly what?).........
And a few displays over, Chevrolet showed the car upon which the Zeclat was based.........
Who would have thought? And why?
Eadon Green is ready to produce up to twenty five of these retro-mobiles, so that you too can show up at the casino in Monte Carlo in high style. Exclusive? Goes without saying. Price? Well that's a crap shoot. If EG makes all twenty five, then the price would be about $800,000 USD. Those orders don't materialize and only a handful come out the factory door? Then expect to pay closer to $1.3 mil USD. Better get all your friends on board to lower the price of this budget breaker.
Take an extremely competent supercar like the Vette and clothe it in a suspect old style. Again the question, why? Are there that many Russian oligarchs or oil royalty looking for something like this? Apparently EG thinks so.
Life is too short to quibble over the small stuff. You want to stand out? Then you gotta pay the price. Contact Eadon Green and have them transform your contemporary beauty into their idea of this coachbuilt dream......
Be the only one in your country and hope like heck there are twenty four others thinking exactly like you.
Until next time.......
