Surely never to be.available again, as manufacturers migrate to electric power, here is an opportunity to.acquire a legendary V-12 producing 493 bhp and with only 16,200 original miles, in absolutely pristine original condition. The guttural, turbine-like, urgent sound of the V-12 is just remarkable.
