AI Listing Summary
This 1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A is a rare, early production Straight-8 car with LeBaron coachwork, boasting its original engine.

Condition

While the listing mentions mechanical refreshing, new tires, and readiness for touring, it also refers to it being a 'surviving original' which suggests age-related wear and possible imperfections. The mechanical work inspires confidence, but without details on the extent of cosmetic work, a rating above 'Very Good' isn't supportable.
