Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a rare, left-hand drive 1972 Broadspeed Bullit, one of only seven known to survive and the sole left-hand drive example. It was originally converted by Broadspeed and displayed at the Barcelona Motor Show in 1973, later owned by a Spanish racing driver before returning to the UK for restoration in 2008. The car presents well with an excellent interior, but the mileage is unverified, making it a highly sought-after collector's item.
