X-2000
This car was designed by Alex Trimulous as a styling exercise for the Ford Motor Company in 1958. It was never built full size until Andy decided to build this.
It is handbuilt in steel, based on the floor pan of a 1962 Mercury. 7'8" wide and regularly road used.
One prestigious American magazine titled a feature on it as "Restoration of a car that never was."
The X - 2000 regularly appeared in TV commercials, was an exhibit for the Turner Prize, has taken part in Concours De Elegance, and was often seen globe trotting to different locations, including Melbourne and Korea.
The X - 2000 now resides in Saudi Arabia.
