So what on earth are you doing here ,Today, we have another absolute legend of the American road: ultra-rare 1978 Cadillac Seville Elegante 5.7 V8 finished in factory Western Saddle Firemist over Cadillac Brown. Imported to the UK in May 1979 and showing just 2 previous UK owners, this genuine late-70s American luxury cruiser has recently emerged from a long-term layup. We've got that fuel-injected 5.7L Oldsmobile V8 running right and sorted the electrical gremlins, presenting an authentic, highly original classic car project you can see exactly as it sits.

Model History & Driver Benefits
The 1st Generation Seville Elegante was Cadillac’s ultimate mid-size flagship statement, designed to rival the best European luxury saloons of the era. Built on the heavy-duty K-body platform with electronic fuel injection as standard, the Elegante trim offered bespoke two-tone paint schemes, real wood door trim, real leather seating, and effortless torque. Cruising in one of these today offers unmatched presence, ultra-smooth V8 power delivery, and total exemption from UK MOT, road tax, and ULEZ charges.

About Us:
Here at RT's "The Real Toy Shop" we believe the toys should speak for themselves.
Our family team of Matt, Lisa and our trusty sidekick Scott are all general petrol enthusiasts are happy to advise and give you all the attention "you" need, but not to push you, none of us can be doing with pushy sales-folk.
On offer are an eclectic mix of classic and modern bikes and cars from all marques, all brought to you with an old school approach that sees low overheads to keep the price of your new toy down low where best we can. No big shiny glass showroom, suits or teams of hungry sales-folk to feed just us three and we can go hungry.
We mix the toys in our old warehouse from old school classic British bikes right up to modern day ones with a few crazy specimens thrown in to keep us all interested.
We love all bikes/cars without prejudice. If it smells of exhaust and makes noise you're in luck if you want to part exchange it because we will take it.
Finance your new toy through our finance partner "Close Brothers". With our no hassle easy approach, no deposit required and PCP available on the more modern machinery up to 5 years old if that is your thing.
Come and visit us digitally or even better, in the flesh, for a game of pinball and a brew and witness the 24 hour kettle in action and if you're lucky even a biscuit if Matt hasn't eaten them all.
We can accommodate viewings at pretty much any time via prior arranged appointment to suit your needs.
Give us a go! You never know you might like us and want to come back.
A deal is only a deal if both parties are happy and we hope that we can reach a place where we are both smiling.
All the best,
The team at The Real Toy Shop.
