Rarely on a car of the age and type do the cosmetics present as well with the bodywork, interior and alloy wheels all preserved in first-class condition. The underside of the car is equally as clean and mechanically it’s particularly well sorted.

In March 2020 the previous owner commissioned the well-known and well-respected Independent Hartech to carry out an engine rebuild in conjunction with their capacity conversion from 3.6 to 3.9 litre. The invoice total was £16,071.46 and the mileage at the time of the rebuild was 65214. The obligatory running in service was subsequently carried out, again by Hartech at a mileage of 67998 miles. The oversized rebuild results in a discernible difference in both Torque and Power. In the case of this car,  BHP was increased from 314 to 366 with Torque increased from 375Nm to 439Nm.

• Closed deck Nikasil plated cylinders
• Bespoke pistons with new piston rings
• Timing chain set
