"This extremely fine example is one of the best XK150's were have ever had. The car runs and drives near perfectly. On the open road, with the overdrive engaged, one can cruise at sixty five miles an hour with ease. Everything works on the car. The interior and exterior are both clean and neat, with the car more than presentable for showing. The car comes with spare, jack, knock-on hammer, tool roll, and handbook."

"Frame off restoration with 4674 miles on restoration. The firewall is the color of the car. It is the nicest factory color offered in 1961 of Pompeian Red Metallic and is absolutely fabulous in depth and shine. The car was painted apart and then assembled. The new convertible top is red and also coordinates quite nicely with the paint. The leather hides are N.O.S. Metallic Red Florentine Leather that were brought in from New York and are the correct color for 61. They are glove soft and beautiful. The motor and transmission have been gone through. The radiator was recored, Original jack with factory wheel chock and also still has the original spare. All chrome bumpers stainless, shocks, brakes, (boosters too), front end, etc have been redone. Power trunk, power windows (vents too), six way seat with folding armrest between driver and passenger, power antenna, remote mirror, acutronic eye etc. Has rare and optional fog lamps in the front bumper where the turn signals would be. Has an AM/FM/CD player that is mounted under the dash without any modification to dash, has two expensive box speakers that are not visible mounted and pushed way under the dash and also has two Boston wedge speakers pushed under the back of the front seat. This is all hooked into the nicely working (pull on the factory radio volume knob to raise) power antenna. Factory AM radio works fine also. It is an Arizona car with Arizona license plates on the car. The Arizona rust free body and undercarriage is in unbelievably exceptional shape. It has lived a very pampered life. Same owner for over eighteen years. I have never seen a nicer 61 in all the time I have owned it. It has taken many 1st place trophies. Included is a Beverly Hills Car Cover in the trunk, the shop manual, paint chip chart, accessory and sale brochure. etc. Probably the most influential American automotive styling cue of all time is the tailfin. Inspired by the distinctive twin-rudder design of the Lockheed P-38 fighter plane, the so-called “tailfin” first appeared on the 1948 Cadillac, but began growing in height soon afterward, culminating with the legendary excess of the 1959 Cadillac’s. My favorite is the 1961 models, when the fins were in regression and Bill Mitchell’s design team took over from the outlandish Harley Earl in GM’s studios. This was the beginning of the era in design sense!"

"The car was originally presented at the London Motor Fair (Show) at Earls Court in 1983. For a sum of £50,000, a price in those days roughly equivalent to three or more original cars, the Bouillot Helsel E Type boasted 5 speed Jaguar synchromesh gearbox, beefed up suspension and an aesthetic makeover which was not only very striking, but far more luxurious than the original. This included matching luggage, a plush leather interior with burled walnut dashboard fascia and its own style of knock-off hubs. Boldly, the company used their own cream and burgundy throughout and a ‘BH’ insignia can be found across the headlining and on the luggage, while a chrome ‘Boillot Helsel’ signature can be found on the lower hood edge. It is not known how successful the venture was and consultation with knowledgeable Jaguar historians such as Philip Porter in the UK suggests that this may well be the sole example although the ‘model’ is referred to in Chris Harvey’s ‘E Type. End of an Era’ and features on page 245 of this book. Today the car records just a couple of thousand miles on its odometer. The engine compartment is clean and detailed in a matching color scheme. The vendor reports the car runs well, and is a pleasure to drive. It is a one-of-a-kind automobile and very striking in appearance, a car that everyone will notice."

There is also an immense amount of NOS parts and it is correctly date coded. The restoration was done by HAROLD LOUISIANA who wrote numerous books for the Classic Chevy Club and is considered the best or at least one of the top three best in the country.

It is a work of art that steels the show wherever it shows"

One year later it was sold to Phil Cargill who owned and operated the Yellow Cab Co. and Limousine service in Twin Falls, ID. The car was used to Chauffer celebrities traveling between Sun Valley and the Twin Falls Airport. Janet Leigh, Ann Sheridan and Lydia Du Pont were among the many that were reported to have been chauffeured in the car while vacationing in Sun Valley, ID. Additionally Marilyn Monroe used the car many times during filming of the movie "Bus Stop" in the mid fifties in Sun Valley. Bing Crosby is also reported to have used the car to transport his hunting parties from Sun Valley to a favorite pleasant hunting area near Burley in Southern Idaho. This car is preserved in original condition with the exception of a paint job, the odometer shows 63,750 miles which is believed to be original. This is a great 50's Cadillac with an amazing history!"

1960 Ford Anglia

Från Harry Potter och Hemligheternas kammare, 2002. Anledningen till att Warner fick rättigheterna att spela in filmerna var bl a för att de var de enda som gick med på att låta filmerna utspelas i England. De andra ville flytta handlingen till Amerika, så klart.

1972 Gran Torino Sport

I samband med att vi besökte Warner Bros Studio VIP tour fick vi också se en liten utställning med kända bilar. Detta är Clintans egen Ford som han lånat ut. Filmen är ju riktigt bra och fick högsta betyg av mig.
