Condition 

7

The car has undergone a fresh restoration to 'Grand Prix' specification, indicating recent work to improve its condition. However, it also has a history of an accident in 1930 and was salvaged from a scrap merchant in 1954, suggesting that some wear and tear may be visible. The listing mentions that a new body was constructed and some parts were remanufactured, but also states that the original parts needed to return to the wire wheel setup were kept, implying that the original parts were not in perfect condition. Overall, the car seems to be in solid condition with some wear visible, but not prominent.
