The seller offers for sale this Excalibur Phaeton III from 1979, a cabriolet powered by a 7.4 litre V8 petrol engine combined with an automatic transmission. This example has been owned by dedicated collectors and is presented in an elegant tan colour scheme with matching removable soft top and interior. The indicated mileage of 13,411 miles is guaranteed. The engine starts well and runs smoothly, with no unusual noises or smoke reported, and the automatic gearbox shifts as intended. The paintwork and the interior are in good condition, with only minor small marks visible on the leather. The vehicle currently does not have a valid inspection, as it has not been in use recently, but it has been checked by a specialized mechanic. The compressor continues running after the engine is warm and may require disconnection according to the mechanic’s advice.
This cabriolet is equipped with a soft top in good condition, with fabric and stitching in strong order. The soft top mechanism operates properly, although minor resistance or noise may be present and could benefit from light lubrication. No hard top is included.
The Excalibur Phaeton III is part of the distinctive neo-classic cars produced in the 1970s, inspired by 1930s luxury roadsters. Built on proven American mechanical components and powered by a large-displacement V8, the Phaeton III combined vintage-inspired styling with contemporary reliability for its time. Its long bonnet, external exhaust pipes and chrome detailing create a striking presence on the road. Produced in limited numbers, Excalibur models have developed a following among collectors who appreciate their bold design and strong V8 performance. Today, the Phaeton III remains a unique choice for enthusiasts seeking classic aesthetics with American power and grand touring character.
