These cars were extremely expensive, even more so than a Aston Martin DB6 Volante!!!

They are frighteningly fast, achieving 0 - 60 in under 6 seconds!

The car is being re-commissioned & checked following its long term ownership.

In our opinion these cars are grossly underpriced today, when you compare them with (the equivalent in their day) Aston Martin DB6 Volante and Ferrari Daytona Spyders.

A car to really drive and enjoy and watch your investment grow.

Having been lucky enough to own 6 of these cult cars over the years, this really is a particularly superb example.
