When Celestial appeared it took trophies wherever it went with its heavy flake and computerised dash it blew more than a few mind's. Having been in a museum for the last 22 years, Steve Hodges is the lucky man who has made the car tread the tarmac once again. Steve is a member or the Northern Hot Rod Club.

Hi
I am from the family of the original builders of Celestial, there is nothing I don't know about this car. I watched it being striped built and painted, I helped, my initials are in the paintwork on the door. I stood by it and polished it with my bottom at many shows, collected the trophies. We sold it to Holker Hall in the lakes and when they sold it lost track of it. My uncle (the creator, builder and painter) is now in his late seventies. It would be great to track it down and show him his old car. He is still really creative. I spent my childhood and teenage years with this car. I have lots of information and pictures should anyone want to know.
Nayo you have a pm. (top right) A friend of mine now owns Celestial.
Russ.
