Condition
8
The car underwent a long-running restoration starting in 1999 and was running again by 2016, with 'constant improvements' since. It was recently serviced in summer 2024 with a brake master cylinder rebuild and skimmed brake discs. The latest MoT passed with no advisories and is valid until 2025. The interior has new seating, wool carpets, and a new windscreen. While not explicitly stated as 'pristine', the extensive restoration, continuous improvements, recent servicing, and clean MoT indicate it is in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition for its age and modifications.
