The heavily revised Flying Spur was launched at the Geneva show late in 2013 to much acclaim by the motoring press of the day.
The 6.0 litre W12 engine now produced 625 BHP and an astonishing 800 Nm of torque fed through an 8 speed auto box with Quickshift, Blockshift and a steering wheel mounted paddle shift.
Top speed exceeded 200 mph for the first time in the model’s history and a Mulliner spec was also launched (and which this particular car is) offering improved handling combined with outstanding ride quality.
This particular car was supplied new through the UK dealer network as a 2015 model year car built to factory Mulliner specification, finished in Silverlake Blue with Linen Hide and with the following additional factory fitted options:
Single fine line hand painted in cream
Contrast stitching and binding
Hand stitching to the steering wheel in contrasting colour
Mulliner spec 21 inch polished wheels
Comfort spec
Steering column mounted gear selectors
Storage case to centre console
Deep pile overmats front and rear
Dual tone, 3 spoke steering wheel
First aid kit and warning triangle
Veneered picnic tables with vanity mirrors
Digital TV tuner
Multimedia rear seat entertainment
Rear view camera Remote controlled garage door or gate opener
Space saving spare wheel
The UK cost when new was £173,200 paid by the first owner who kept the car until 2019 when it was sold to Iconic Auctions chairman, Nick Whale, at 7,100 miles from new.
Nick kept the car until late in 2020 when he sold it to a personal friend. At all times from new this car has been in door stored and serviced on time and has a complete known history from new.
The car retains today all original panels and all original paintwork and presents in outstanding condition. Nick missed the car and when an opportunity came in May 2023 to buy it back (to use at his son’s wedding) ~ there was no hesitation! By this time the car had covered just under 15,000 miles when it received a main dealer service and also 2 new rear tyres and subsequently went on to have the upper front suspension arms and upper rear suspension arms replaced (a common fault) as well as new brake pads and an air-conditioning service and re-gas. In total over £6,000 was spent in May 2023 prior to the wedding day.
Today the car has still only covered just over 16,200 miles from new and is ready to be enjoyed whilst still driving like a new car but offering outstanding value for money.
Registration will be taken off and returned to original before sale.
