About Collis
Collis is a Canadian car brand that started life in 1910 as a maker of small European inspired sports cars. The brand never made it big and remained a small operation, until it was bought by the large Canadian conglomerate Mons Automotive in 1928. Since then, it has been wholly owned by Mons Automotive, and has seen a large influx of cash for research and development. Collis has benefited from the partnership by sharing technologies and machining expertise of the much larger Mons group, but the brand has been afforded the freedom to stick to what it does best. In effect, it has been incorporated into the Mons family as the slightly more luxury/sporty brand of Mons Automotive. As such, it has close ties with all Mons departments, including Mons Racing and Mons Customs. While the company is distinctly North American, Collis retains its flair for European inspired designs and engineering.
The Collis Celer 54 gained its “best in class” reputation with its forward thinking engineering, superb handling, sportiness and comfort. When it came time to develop the next generation of Celers, the mk2, Collis set out to make the next iteration even better.
The Celer mk2 was introduced in 1958, however the pinnacle of the line was once again reserved for the last year of production and nicknamed after its year of production: the Celer 64. Mechanically, this car was once again the pinnacle of the Celer range; a true Super GT. The engine is the same 2 L I6 block of the previous Celer generation, but the DOHC is upgraded to a 4-valve system. The Weber carbs also make room for the state-of-the-art fuel injection system. The engine’s power is thus increased from145 HP to 175 HP, while increasing fuel efficiency.
The Celer 64 retains the staple styling cues from the 54: chrome accented side vents and stripes behind the rear windows, and spoked wheels round out the luxurious feel of the Celer. If you want to turn some heads as you cruise down the boulevards, this car is your friend!
The sleek profile is not only sexy, but is very functional as well. The enhanced aerodynamics of the car helps it slice through the air faster. The Celer 54 had a top speed just under 200 km/h; but the Celer 64 breaks 210 km/h!
We have ensured that this generation of Celer is better than the previous iteration in every way: it is easier to drive, sportier, more comfortable, more prestigious, and safer.
The interior of the Celer has received a major overhaul as well, but retains our exquisite attention to detail: premium materials and tasteful chrome accents all around, and an upgraded luxury radio system at your fingertips. This is where you can get pampered in luxury while you relax and enjoy the drive.
We have listened to our customers in Araga. The Celer still comes in the four staple Collis colours: Royal Red, Regal Green, Midnight Black, and Bright White. For the Celer we have added three unique colours just for the Aragan market: Bluebird Eggshell, Bronze, and Grass Green. The Royal Red, Bronze, and Grass Green colours are also available as a two-tone with a Midnight Black top.
The colour options don’t end there! In addition to the Brown leather interior, we now also offer Bright Red, Light Blue, and Black leather options.
And lastly, there is of course also a convertible. See all options below:
