WHAT MAKES OUR BLUMO SO SPECIAL?
There are just nine Dodge Monaco Bluesmobiles in the UK. Of these, just three are available to hire. Of these, just this one is a 1974 Dodge Monaco Sedan.
Its also one of the cleanest examples of this car in the world.
THE SPECIFICATION
Whilst it doesn't have the full 440 'Cop' package, this car IS a genuine 1974 model, and it is the Dodge Monaco sedan - exactly as featured in classic film THE BLUES BROTHERS (TM). It's a beast with a 5.9L 360 V8 engine and weighing in at 2 Tonnes, the car is nearly 6m long.
THE DETAIL
Chesterfield cigarettes on the dash, a broken cigarette lighter, decals from Rays Music Exchange and Bobs Country Bunker. We've gone the extra mile to make this car as screen accurate as possible! We even have the obligatory hats and shades for our passengers to wear :)
THE NUMBER PLATE
In the original movie, the screen-used licence plate read BDR 529.
We have recently acquired the UK registration BDR 529 M and now have this as the road-legal number plate on the car.
RELIABILITY
For 2020, we offer the car with brand new radiator, alternator, brakes, seals and gaskets and it is of course fully serviced. We want the car to be as reliable as possible too! Therefore we take every safeguard to ensure that we stay roadworthy and keep the car as well-maintained as is possible.
