Story
: Brian Rimmer
Picture: ALBERT FOSTER
HOW’S this for
motor power? Wild man Oliver Reed has taken delivery of a monster car that
can match his thirst and flamboyance. It is a
ten - miles-to-the-gallon, 130 mph limousine.
Like outrageous
Olly, it’s unique a one-off job that took four men nine months to create
by hand. And like film star Olly, it’s always full of grog…. stored in
a refrigerated booze cabinet.
A Panther de
Ville built in Surrey, it is styled on a 1930 Dusenberg used by Al
Capone.So when Olly first saw his new super-toy he donned his Godfather
gear for the day. Those sinister shades hid not just the previous night’s
hangover but a gleam of pride at owning one of Britain’s most luxurious
cars. The metallic gold and brown machine cost him £60,000. The engine,
as fiery as Olly’s temper, is a 5.3 litre Jaguar unit—and he has made
sure of lunch with punch by installing a picnic hamper in the boot..
Says Olly: “I promise not to drink too much when I
drive it.” But if you see him on the motorway don’t try to prove
your wheels are as hot as him—he also has a rack of shotguns in there
somewhere.
