* Adrian Flux documented Agreed Value £50, 000The Laycock overdrive on 3rd & 4th transforms the vehicle drive providing roughly 25mph per 1, 000 rpm in overdrive top, reducing noise and fuel consumption. Yet it still has enough torque at even the lowest revs to provide enough drive.

The Grinter Engineering Rear Suspension is well document with hundreds sold worldwide. I have the adjustable shock absorbers set at about 50% giving no more axle bounce on the rebound rubbers when going over motorway bumps at speed.

These two enhancements alone makes the car ideal for continental driving. When you also have the reclining seats as well the passenger can relax too and breaks are refreshing.

Regularly driven except on severe weather days in Nov, Dec January having done 2, 692 miles this year. I have a Jaguar XK8 for other such occasions.

Fully Documented History from 1996 with receipts as detailed in Spreadsheets totaling £46, 204. 86p to date.

Well know vehicle in the Southend Classic Car clubs and the Daimler & Lanchester Owners club.

Reason for sale.
**************

I am a USA resident alien having a Green Card and am aiming to immigrate permanently to the USA this year. It is just to costly to warrant the time and effort to ship !

The car must go so all offers will be responded to. Come and enjoy a test drive. You will not be disappointed.
