TRUMP'S RETRO RIDE

Inside Donald Trump’s 80s time capsule Cadillac with its own fax machine, TV, paper shredder and drinks cabinet

The 1988 5.0 litre Cadillac Limousine is thought to be the first car Mr Trump stamped his name on

HE'S the billionaire businessman turned president-elect, so it's no surprise Donald Trump started out his collection of exclusive modes of transport early on.

Complete with its own fax machine, TV and drinks cabinet, this 1988 5.0 litre Cadillac Limousine is thought to be the first car Mr Trump stamped his name on.

He's said to have had two vehicles exclusively designed for him by the company in 1988 - naming them the Trump Executive Series and the Trump Golden Series.

Cadillac is believed to have agreed to the order after the business mogul said he'd order another 50 limos - but the deal never materialised.

The Trump Limo was meant to have been the "best in the world" and is finished with rosewood interiors.

More like an office on wheels, it's equipped with a fax machine, TV and VCR - so he could record programmes and watch them back on tape at his leisure.

The time-capsule vehicle also has a paper shredder, writing desks, a built in safe, a pair of early NEC cell phones.

And if that wasn't Trump enough, the Cadilliac has a cabinet with glasses and a "Perm-a-Pub" liquor dispensing system.

The exterior has vertically-oriented slats, an enlarged greenhouse for more headroom, a large stainless-steel B-pillar panel and - on the Golden Series - gold plated trim handle and lights.

Writing about the vehicles in his book, The Art of The Deal, Mr Trump said: "A decision has been made to go into production on two Cadillac-body limousines using my name.

";The Trump Golden Series will be the most opulent stretch limousine ever made.

"The Trump Executive Series will be a slightly less lavish version of the same car."

It's thought to have been bought and owned by a collector in Gloucester, who has modified it to British regulatory standards, including amber indicator lights and number plates.
