Condition

The car is described as being in very good overall condition, with some minor age-related wear to the cream leather interior. The body and engine were restored in 1998, and the engine was rebuilt again in 2008. The odometer currently reads 13,058 miles, which is relatively low for a car of this age. However, the interior may need some reconditioning due to the age-related wear.
