The handsome automatic V12 Roadster on offer started life as a lefthand drive export model that was despatched to British Leyland New York on July 10, 1974. Following repatriation three years ago it has undergone a comprehensive level of refurbishment. Aside of being converted from left to righthand drive and being completely resprayed in its original colour of British Racing Green, the Roadster’s Biscuit-coloured interior trim, hard top and hood have all been renewed. The exhaust and braking systems have been overhauled, during which the discs and calipers were replaced. Other new parts include the rear subframe mountings, radiator and engine timing chain. Following the work, the vendor understandably regards the bodywork, paintwork, upholstery, engine and transmission as all being in ‘very good’ order. This cool cat is now available complete Heritage Certificate and V5c.
