Condition
7
The car is described by the vendor as being in 'good to very good' condition for its age. Recent work includes replacing the rear main oil seal, gearbox fluid, starter motor, exhaust, carburettor, hoses, and interior fan motor. The front seats and wheels have been refurbished, and new tires, front and rear bumpers, and a new windscreen have been fitted. In 2018, it received a full respray with replaced front wings, doors, and sills, along with body repairs.
