Condition

The car is described as being in good working order, regularly maintained, and having had its underbody stripped and treated in 2017. The engine was rebuilt at the same time, with several parts replaced. The bodywork is sound and has been repainted, and the upholstery has been restored. A test revealed satisfactory mechanical operation, with only the water temperature manometer not working. However, the car is sold without a technical inspection and has been in the Bordeaux region since the 1980s, implying some age and potential wear.
