A rare find! A Bricklin SV-1, in all its cracked-acrylic glory. This is the first one I’ve ever seen in person. This one is signed by Malcolm Bricklin himself.
The Bricklin SV-1 used an odd combination of color-impregnated acrylic bonded to a fiberglass base for its body. The acrylic blistered and cracked due to various factors, and that’s what you see here.
The gullwing doors used to be hydraulically raised, which meant you couldn’t open one door while closing the other. This one has electric motors substituted for the pumps.
