G485 TGJ - 5.3 V12 convertible

A rather tired black convertible, high mileage and a fair amount of rust - but basically sound. We will be bringing the car back to as-new in all the important mechanical, body and visual areas. The car has suffered from some very poor workmanship in the past - see the bad welding and the cross member mostly made of filler! Engine will be out and fully reconditioned; all new KWE suspension; new tan leather interior and a full exterior repair and respray will make it a superb example in a few months.
