Condition
7
The car has been restored, with major mechanical work done including cylinder head and clutch rebuild, brakes and shock absorbers overhaul, and replacement of running boards and door trim panels. It runs and drives well with no issues according to the vendor. However, the restoration was done in 2009 and there may be wear since then. The presence of spares also suggests that ongoing maintenance and repairs are expected.
