Retro is not something of the last five years. Empire was a Dutch car brand that presented two models in 2001. The Empire Car Company, which took its name from an American company of the same name from the 30, built the Empire Windsor and the Saber Six ,. Drive (V6) and technology are from Ford.
The Windsor was a successful cross between a veteran Rolls and a medium-sized knight's castle.
The Saber Six looked fairly pure British Classic. Think: XK measures Healey.
The Dutch company started its adventure by the way after taking over the molds from Royale Cars from… Yes: England. Royale offered the models as kitcars.
That the company did not go for the basic kitcar market was evident from the price of the Windsor: around one and a half euros.

But if you can find another one?
At that time I was the marketing man of the ECC. De Gouden Koets did an item and there was an article in Autoweek (?). Too bad it didn't get off the ground, they were beautiful cars.
I have one for sale
Hi Cor, still for sale?
