6 owners; by me, a Club Member, since 11/ 02/ 05. Showing 90000 miles. No service history; I keep a spreadsheet of work done.
MOT till 06/ 11/ 17 so no major worries.
Tempomatic Cruise control (that uses the transmission's topographical sensor to appropriately add and cut back the throttle fluidly as needed in order to maintain the desired set speed. Four-speed automatic transmission with a topographical sensor that monitors the vehicle's position (whether on an incline or decline) and gas pedal position. The transmission also featured a "limp home mode" in case of electronic failure and was programmed to start in second gear so as to permit smooth, wheel spin free launches. Second gear start could be switched on and off with a S/ W switch to allow more performance orientated driving versus winter driving). If the mood prevails. you can drive right handed only, with finger and thumb on the wheel and little finger adjusting speed up and down.
Econometer on dash display.
New wings & front chrome Dec 08
Exterior temperature sensor with LCD display set in main instrument console
Fully automatic climate control system (that uses an interior temperature sensor to more accurately climatise the cabin. This sensor was mounted overhead (near the sunroof switch) so that when the roof was open, the sensor would detect cool air-flow and call upon the system to adjust heat flow accordingly).
Steel tilt & slide steel sunroof with side panels to prevent draft and rain spatters.

If anyone asks about economy, this probably isn’t the car for you! It was a plutocratic limousine, beloved of dictators, that made few concessions to environment. (For interest, 4 up, autopilot at 80 gave just over 20 and at 60 just under 30. Not bad for a V8 continent crosser)
Vehicle was valued at £4500 to £5500 3 years ago, so is priced to sell at £3500.
