Condition 

7

The car is described as being in a 'truly miraculous state of preservation' and 'authenticity that we will likely never see again'. It retains its original Calberson livery (repainted), period-correct running gear, original mechanics, rare wheels, and interior. The minimal deviations from the original 1980 configuration are documented. This suggests the car is in very good condition with slight wear, but not prominent.
