Pros: Appreciating Classic, 80% restored. Smooth turbine-like V-12 engine. Low collector car insurance rates. Maintenance records, various expenses since 1990. Magazine articles, manuals, books, etc. included in sale.
Cons: Need to resurface the original alloy wheels, finish resurfacing of the interior door surfaces, replace the automatic radio antenna, misc. trim pieces. No need for air conditioning in Northern California, so never used air conditioning, just dropped the top! So probably need to check before using; could be recharging...just never a priority for me.Bonnet (hood) struts recently gave way, so need to replace to keep open.Typical Lucas British electric gremlins like idiot lights, window switches, sometimes work, sometimes not, but everything is okay now.
