DESCRIPTION

  • First registered in September 2002 and later owned by Norwegian businessman Andreas Ugland, forming part of his collection in the Cayman Islands before returning to the UK in 2021 with all duties paid, remaining in its current owner's private collection since 2022 with minimal use

  • Powered by a hand-assembled 5.4-litre supercharged V8 producing around 493bhp, driving the rear wheels through a 5-speed automatic transmission, with adaptive suspension and high-performance braking system
  • Maintained to a very high standard. Recent attention (2021) includes an A-service, fluids, SBC update, replacement roof hydraulic components, PSE pump and air conditioning re-gas by recognised marque specialists, as well as an oil and filter change by our vendor
