This particular Mark V convertible was owned by Bette Davis, and since her adventurous American road trips, the car has received meticulous care.

The upholstery and bodywork have been restored at the renowned Lecoq coachbuilding workshop. The radiator and carpets are new, and the mechanical components, brakes, and clutch have been completely rebuilt.

All the instruments on the walnut dashboard are in perfect working order.

The car retains its original tooling, which is quite rare and worth noting, and a beautiful DESMO mascot is also included.

Also included is the original sales catalog and a rare binder of period spare parts. All that's left is for you to get behind the wheel and take a trip back to 1950s America. Only two owners have had this car since 1986.
