Condition
6
The car has been restored with a new body shell and reconditioned engine, indicating significant investment in its upkeep. While it has been mainly in storage since 2017, the vendor reports it as running and driving well. However, the color change and the presence of five recorded keepers suggest some history and potential wear. The availability of paperwork, including MoTs back to 1993 and restoration photos, supports its condition.
