The car was subsequently reimported by our vendor in 2016 and has been carefully recommissioned during his ownershipWe understand that it continues to run well and is supplied with its handbooks, some recent invoices, its V5C, and the current MOTThis magnificent Cloud III is ready once again to discretely whisk its lucky owners and their guests in amazing comfort to their destination and to arrive in the style normally reserved for what was, at the time, ‘The Best Car in the World’
