Description/extras: Imported from the US in 2016, the car was largely original and found to have zero rust partly attributable to rustproofing 'Zeibart' treatment when new, but also not being driven in salty conditions. A full but and bolt restoration was undertaken, with the body stripped for a bare metal respray in factory original colour Silver, with the interior reupholstered in factory original colour dark blue. The car was converted to RHD using OEM parts and aftermarket aircon fitted. The restoration approach was not to create a concourse vehicle but rather one with an authentic appearance yet practical to drive. It has a new Tremec 5 speed manual box as opposed to to the original under geared 4 speed, a high output alternator, hi torque starter, modern radio and speakers with a classic appearance. Importantly the numbers original V12 has been completely and expertly rebuilt, maintaining the original quad strombergs, but fitted with electronic ignition.
