Story
Inspired by an inspiration, the Ray Cutler Special takes the name of great man. My late Grandfather was an engineer and motorsport fanatic, with a passion for building, rebuilding and improving cars for racing, below is a picture of him in one of his early modifications a "Cutler Special" Cooper 500. The Ray Cutler Special top itself takes direct inspiration from a number of classic cars that made up his personal collection, each one he painstakingly restored and improved with years of hard work.
Finishing
For this top, I developed a multi-step finishing process, the result of which I’m calling a Feature Polish finish. This finish features mirror polished panels, with the outer diameter of the top left with brightly polished machine marks. The aluminum stem also receives a post assembly polish.
This will be the only finish available, if you would like a custom finish, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
Please see the video below to get a better understanding of the finish, and the process behind it.
Spin Times
Spin time will all depend on your technique, see below.
• Virgin – 2-3 mins
• Newbie – 4 mins
• Solid gripper – 6-10 mins
• Hard hitter OG – 10-16 mins
Packaging
New design COA and sticker, retaining the original MK1 tin and our eco-friendly wood wool filling. Ray loved wood, but really, who doesn't?
Designed to resemble a ticket from the 1956 Grand Prix at Silverstone, each top comes with a serialised Card of Authentication, The card features a nod towards family history and tries to convey Ray’s sense of fun, and love of speed. Remember, Motor racing is dangerous.
Each top will also come with a custom designed sticker to reflect Ray’s time in the Royal Air Force.
Limited Edition – Never to be repeated
This design will be limited by the number of tops sold during the initial pre-order.
