Ruddspeed

In 1945, in a disused stable in Worthing, England, Ken Rudd, a rather successful racing driver who eventually had stints at LeMans, opened a tuning shop catering to owners of Austin Healeys, Volvos, Alfa Romeos, and AC cars. The shop prospered until Ken Rudd’s passing in 2010; the firm still exists, providing tuning and restoration on vintage racers, and will soon release a factory replica of an AC Ace competition car available to enthusiasts.

Sometime in the 1960’s, Ruddspeed became involved in the manufacture and distribution of a series of beautiful radiator-inspired liquor decanters, which were sold by high quality British retailers such as Harrod’s of London, and others. The particulars as of this writing remain rather murky; an American equivalent scenario would have been if Carroll Shelby had  produced a set of fine automobile-inspired tableware, distributed through Neiman Marcus! 
The decanters themselves are fully functional, with glass-lined interiors and ‘radiator cap’ stoppers. A total of five different decanters were produced, representing Bentley, Rolls-Royce, SS Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Bugatti.  Each is heavily chrome-plated and the Mercedes-Benz, Bentley and Jaguar models feature intricate and beautifully executed mesh grilles, while the Bugatti has a black, perforated insert and the Rolls Royce incorporates the vertical bars or vanes of the full scale car.
