SUMMARY

A fine example of Bruno Sacco's 1980s 5.6-litre 'statement' Coupé, undoubtedly a 'modern classic'.

DESCRIPTION

  • UK-supplied post-facelift 560 SEC with the 5.6-litre V8 M1117 engine and 4G-Tronic automatic gearbox
  • Standard spec includes heated seats, LSD, electric steering, self-levelling suspension and ABS
  • Finished in Nautic Blue with grey leather upholstery, this car was previously offered by us as a charity lot some years ago
  • Recently issued with an MOT to September 2025, it would appear that in the intervening years the substantial history file was misplaced
  • We understand that the car has been refreshed at a cost exceeding £2,000 within the last 12 months
  • SEC values, particularly the flagship 560, have continued to strengthen in recent years
