Condition 

6

The car has an older, high-quality restoration but is now in reasonable used condition. The paintwork has some marks and signs of reactions, likely due to the aluminum body. The interior was retrimmed at an unknown date and is in decent condition. The car was overhauled in 2012, indicating it needed some work to be driven again after being laid up.
