Absolutely amazing condition, one of the rarest cars with 6.9 liter engine with 34,000 Miles! Only 576 was made for North America. Very strong and very fast. No rust, no issues. All original. The front dash has been replaced though. The car can be a daily drive. Own a piece of fine engineered History seemingly made for the Royalties. No need to say much, just check the pics. For what we know, there was one owner till 2008 which the title shows 18,000 original miles by then and the rest was put on after that.
