well, its got 1998 bumpers from an X308 on it, and the badges look hand made ?

its a bit of a miss match to me, but hey , a nice miss match ?

its almost certainly an aftermarket manual conversion.There were no factory manual 6.0 X300/ X305.
Little clues for a starts. it has an auto ski slope. if it was done by TWR as is claimed in the ad, i would have thought they could have got hold of a proper manual ski slope, especially when the vehicle was much younger (and worth more)

as mentioned the badges don't look factory made either.
The VIN will be an auto identifier too.

non of these details really matter. Its a Manual V12, is the important information here.

last time i saw this for sale maybe 4 years ago+ it was around £2500.
question is, how much is a manual box worth over an auto?
i like my manuals and have a collection of 6cyl manuals, but paying 3x the value of an auto, to get that is another matter.

checked this one out recently, it comes up as an auto, its done the rounds recently, first sold about 3 months ago for £1K the guy put big side pipes on it, lowered it and tried for £5k, he then sold it to the current vendor at an unknown price. At £8K just looking for a quick buck, BUT what a car

However I do believe it to be a genuine Kidlington Conversion at some point in its life based on the questions I have asked

Ok interesting. Is there any documentation to prove/ info on the conversion?

Did you get a test drive?
What would you value it at? I remember it being at 2.5k a few years ago.
