This car lived in UK until 1986, when it re-located to France. She was restored in the '90s. Back in UK now, adopted by caring and indulgent new family... In excellent order and driven regularly. Will add more photos once we have been to a few interesting places.

Built for the UK market in September 1971, this is a right hand drive, 5.3 litre V12 fixed head coupe with manual gearbox and original Webasto sunroof, number 454 out of 2115 RHD FHC's built. Matching chassis, body and frame numbers with the prefix 7S suffix SA engine.

The original paintwork in Old English White and original seats in Connolly leather Black, 105,000 certified genuine miles. Delivered to the first owner in October 1971 by Plough Motors of Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. In 1986 this car was offered as first prize in the Multihull Challenge sailing race by Chay Blyth himself. Not thinking that the race would be won by anyone than an Englishman Chay had to eat humble pie when the race was won by French explorer Phillippe Poupon

Phillippe accepted the prize with much satisfaction and took the car to France where he cherished it fo over 30 years until 2016, when it returned to the UK. during Phillippe's tenure the car was mechanically restored in the late 1990s at 89,000 miles. The work was carried out to a high standard as detailed in the documented history. Without doubt, it presents superbly well and continues to turn heads.
