Beautiful and rare example of a true classic automobile which was mechanically and cosmetically restored fifteen plus years ago and was shown successfully a handful of times then stored in an environmentally controlled building being started and regularly maintained used in local parades on occasion. The body fitment and paint are both extraordinary as well.The V12 was rebuilt by the previous owner and runs smoothly as it should. All of the mechanical systems were completely gone over and repaired/replaced as needed, this includes the hydraulic system for the top, seat and windows. The top and boot are in excellent condition and function as they should.The car runs smoothly down the road with the v12 hooked up to the three speed manual transmission with overdrive.Always a head turner and show winner!
Pros- paint and body panel fitment is excellent, all gauges work, the hydraulic system is excellent, will soon add photos of the top which is very nice and works great.Cons- the previous owner reupholstered the interior using synthetic leather which looks and feels great plus it’s never been noticed by judges at shows
