Condition

The car is described as being in a good aesthetic condition with a nice paint job and sound base, but the chrome elements show traces of natural oxidation. It has not been driven in recent years and requires a complete mechanical service. The engine bay is in original condition. Overall, while it has some cosmetic and mechanical needs, it is mostly well-preserved.
