KEY FACTS

• A very rare high-performance coupe, which has been enjoyed as intended but presents very well throughout, following recent comprehensive maintenance.
• Under the bonnet is a mighty twin-turbocharged 6.0-litre V12, producing 603bhp and 738lb-ft of torque, coupled with the five-speed automatic transmission.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• The original owner’s manual, service book and satellite navigation disc will be supplied in their factory leather wallet, alongside the toolkit and spare wheel. Two keys are also present.

CONDITION

• The car retains its original silver paintwork, which has fared very well, and now presents with just a few age-related blemishes on both ends, while a couple of small marks can be seen around the sills.
• Its original 19-inch forged split-rim alloy wheels are in pristine order, with the correct Titanium finish.
• The black leather upholstery is in great condition, with only minor signs of use, commensurate with the mileage.
• A few surface marks are visible on the gear selector and steering wheel face.
• No electrical faults have been detected.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Prior to this, through January and February 2020, technicians replaced the gearbox oil, front brake discs and pads, and the hydraulic suspension system.
