Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    A thrilling car with a V12 engine that offers an exhilarating driving experience and a fantastic sound. Recent extensive service work has been done, although the fog light warning is on and the brakes may squeak slightly due to limited use this year. It features stylish alloy wheels with newer tires, a very clean and well-maintained engine bay, and is road tax-exempt with inspection valid until 2026-06-30. The air conditioning hasn’t been tested due to cold weather, and the standard radio is not included. The complete toolkit is in the boot.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is very clean and tidy, with leather seats in good condition, showing only a slight scuff on the driver's seat bolster. The carpets, headliner, and door cards are all in great shape. All electric features are working, except for the rear blind.

  • Exterior condition:

    Bodywork is straight and undamaged, with even shutlines and no signs of rust. The underbody is very clean and well-maintained. The paintwork is also in a great condition, with the bonnet and driver's side door repainted due to paint chips. There are a few minor paint defects on the front wing, touch-ups on the rear passenger side wing, and slight fogging on the rear window edge (see pictures).

  • General condition:

    A wonderful-looking car that has been well-maintained, with major and expensive service work completed. This means you're buying a well-sorted 850 that’s ready to be enjoyed for many years to come.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
