*12-cylinder performance and refinement
*Automatic transmission
*Circa 2,000 miles since an engine rebuild
*Few owners

This right-hand drive, automatic-transmission, Series 3 roadster was acquired by previous owner Andrew Osbourne circa 2012 from one Michael Clive. According to notes on file, Mr Clive acquired the car in November 1973; it is listed on the V5 as first registered on 8th October 1973 so must have had one very brief previous owner if this is the case. In addition, there are sundry invoices on file for works dating back to the early 1980s, including an engine rebuild (1988), engine top-end overhaul (1993), and another engine rebuild by Canfield Engineering at cost of £6,428 (2004), since when some 2,000 miles have been covered. New brake pads and a hood bag have been fitted by Britannia Motor Engineering, these being the most recent works (undated). MoT certificates dating back to 1977 record the mileage total as 28,493 at that time, while the latest certificate (May 2016) records a total of circa 16,000, indicating an actual total of circa 116,000 miles.
