Same family ownership for 23 years
Matching numbers

This lovely example is presented in black with red leather interior and complimented by a Webasto sunroof. Its smooth V12 engine is powered through an automatic transmission and has enjoyed being in the same family ownership for the last 23 years. This cherished example has been used sparingly by the family and driven on the odd Sunday drive in fine weather having travelled less than two thousand miles in the last 10 years. The car was re-sprayed in 2014 to its currently glory and much of its bright work replaced, also a new windscreen and new roof lining were fitted. Around 2008 the engine was taken out and rebuilt for a cost of just over £6000 ( invoice on file) The history file with the car highlights the lengthy ownership and also lots of receipts for works over the years and the original advert from where the car was purchased.
