1978' Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz

Hello,
Offered for sale is this stunning 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz finished in triple white (Cotillion white exterior, white leather interior, & white padded ‘elk grain’ quarter vinyl top).
Kept by the previous owner in the US for over 42 years!
Model info & vehicle specification:
Since this particular car is the Biarritz, it is of course the top spec Eldorado model meaning that it is fully loaded. Further to the Biarritz package, it was optioned with the ‘glass dome Astro roof’. These two options alone added near $4k to the base price (which was a rather large sum in 1978!)
Features of the ‘Biarritz’ package include the padded quarter vinyl top, opera lamps, opera side & rear windows, additional stainless steel body mouldings, colour coded stainless steel wheel trims, further leather trim to the interior door cards F&R etc. & most notably THOSE INCREDIBLE SEATS!
1978 was the final year for the real ‘big ones’ with the full size platform & body prior to the Eldorado being significantly downsized for 1979. All other models in the Cadillac lineup had already been downsized prior to 1978 & so this generation of Eldorado really was the last one standing. In other words; the end of an era.
This final iteration of the Eldorado was face lifted for the 1977 model year with the ‘Eldorado’ script being added to the front of the bonnet along with new headlamp trims, lights added to the rear quarters & the rear lights being incorporated into the tail fin style bumper with the lenses marked with a Cadillac crest either side. This particular iteration was only available for the 77-78’ model year with the only visual difference being the front grille that was further updated for 1978.
This example goes a step further since, along with the Biarritz trim package, it was equipped with every optional extra available. These include (but are not limited to) cruise control, automatic
headlamps, auto dim headlamps, electronic power boot (soft close of the 70’s), heated rear window, tilt & telescope steering wheel, delay wipers, large power operated tinted glass sunroof (marketed as the ‘glass dome Astro roof’ by GM/ ASC), recliner seats, AM/ FM stereo with 8 track player & CB radio (citizens band).
A relatively recent import into the UK in late 2020. All duties & taxes paid.
Since this is officially classed as a historic vehicle, it is MOT & TAX EXEMPT.
Paperwork:
All paperwork present. Including original US title, NOVA letter, V5, owners manual, Cadillac maintenance schedule, 1978 Cadillac service manual, Operating instructions for Astro roof (plus tool for manual operation should the power roof fail, though this is fully operational). On top of the essential documents, there is many extras such as the original certification card from the supplying dealer along with further operating paperwork for the 8 track stereo & citizens band + original Cadillac dealer value protection plan. I will add photographs of all these laid out.
