The mechanical elements are totally original, including the chassis plate, engine case, bonnet, and bodywork. The dashboard retains its original gauges, and the car still has its spare wheels and original bumpers. The car has had only two private owners before the war and two since 1939. Therefore, it appears to be in very good condition.
