Desirable automatic example of the V12 Series III

Originally registered on 1st June 1974, this cherished Series III roadster is presented in red with cream leather hide, a black mohair hood and desirable contrasting factory hardtop. It has been in single ownership since 1987 and still retains its first servicing invoice from White Gates garage in Glastonbury. Our vendor was certainly an enthusiast and many hours and a significant budget was assigned to the upkeep of his beloved Series III. In recent years Beacon Hill Garage in Hindhead have cared for the car and kept it regularly serviced. Many invoices for parts and work from throughout the late 80’s and 90’s can be found within the comprehensive history file as our vendor went about renewing and restoring this example to a fine condition. Sadly, due to ongoing health issues, the decision has now been made to part with his pride and joy. This desirable Series III is offered with the correct handbook, sales brochure and repair manual, luggage rack, MoT test until June 2021, servicing history dating back to 1983 and benefits from a recent minor service. A fabulous automatic example of this great British icon which is perfect for long distance touring or for just enjoying the long summer days in.
