Description
A lovely example of a very rare, 3.5 litre V8.
As we understand it, only 68 were built in right-hand drive, and consequently very hard to find! The car is very nicely finished in soft white with original black leather interior and black hood, and is in lovely condition.
The car has been with one family (father and daughter) since 1978, and quite possibly since new.
We are investigating this further.
Well maintained, with a good deal of history in the file, including many invoices, a run of Mo
T certificates, original handbook and service book, etc, etc.
In the late 1980s, the car was stripped to bare metal and completely repainted to a high standard in the original shade of white, and still lovely to this day.
Offered serviced and Mo
T tested.
