Air Con and Full Spec

The Daytona is fitted with factory air-conditioning, which is presented in full working order, and a repaint has been carried out to a high specification. Panel gaps are also excellent, and it sits on correct in period Ruote Borrani 15” knock-off wire wheels, which give it that famous Daytona stance.

The seller states that the interior is as original as can be for a car that has covered 53,000miles, with some restoration to the front seat bolsters having been carried out. The rear cargo area is immaculate.

This Daytona has the stock 4.4Litre V12, with a factory-claimed 352bhp on tap, and has been subject to overhaul recently with new fuel pump, spark plugs and other items. It also had a new clutch a couple of years ago, and is fitted with an EZ power steering system for help at slow speeds.
