1973 lls- yce che 2-Door on – Extremely Rare urs-Level Example
This RARE lls- yce che Two Door on (also known as ‘Fixed Head Coupe’) was ordered new by then-racing legend Chris Meek in the UK on 28, 1973 and delivered new to the buyer on October 29, 1973 with registration number CM 1. The car was later sold to a US buyer and imported to the US in 1985. I have original photos of the car when new (in the gallery) with Chris Meek and rie ” ” Stack, also a circuit racer in the era.
It was ordered in a rare borghini color, ‘ pagne Espada lico’ given Chris Meek’s association with borghini while racing their Espadas around the UK and ropean tracks. The color was a medium gold-yellow which was very ‘period’ at the time (see the original photos!)
At some point around 1985 the car was sold and imported to the US (documents on hand). The car was driven very infrequently as a classic collector’s car and later refinished in the 2000s via a full body, chrome-off restoration in Ivory, the color it now proudly wears. the years many mechanical records reflecting ongoing regular maintenance as well as minor fixes are on hand, as well as RREC build records with many pages documenting the birth of the car.
The body is extremely clean, mint and show-ready, with not a single scratch or blemish to be found. The paint is smooth and glassy due to many coats of fine waxes over the years and little to no exposure to the elements. The pictures show a body with not a single scratch, blemish or nick on it, and in person, the color is even better (and shinier – light colors are difficult to photograph to flatter their gloss). The chrome is near-perfect, with zero pitting or deterioration save for one small area on the underside of the rear bumper on the left side, nearly invisible without getting underneath the car. The glass is perfect and the rubber seals are also very tight and intact.
The interior is exceptional, with the Connolly leather hides having been retrimmed in the 2s radio sat. The interior is a wonderful place to spend some time, almost as if in a leather chair inside a British library or smoking lounge (given all the ashtrays around the car, very period-1973).
This very rare chrome-bumper ‘two door saloon’ must be seen to be appreciated! Only 1,090 fixed-head che coupes were produced over the years (initially as a special coachbuilt James or Mulliner k- rd, later named ‘ che’ from 1971) and with the Everflex roof they are even rarer.
