The present owner has informed us that there was work carried out to the sills in 2019-2020, we (Clydesdale Classic Cars) cannot comment on the quality of the repairs because there are covered with the plastic sill covers.

Driver seat mechanism needs repairs – parts are included.

Four new tyres (receipt in the pack) and two new batteries (receipt and warranty stuck to LHS battery)

Unpretentious yet supremely elegant, the 840 was one of the most subtle super-GTs, with a remarkable 0.29 drag coefficient. This ultimate autobahn-stormer could cruise all day at 150mph, delivering the driver relaxed to their destination thousands of miles later.
