Condition
6
The car is described as being in long-term museum display, suggesting it has been preserved but may require restoration. There's mention of improvisation in the engine installation and the need for restoration to be heard 'screaming up hills,' indicating it's not in perfect running condition. The bodywork is GRP, and it's based on a 1000 Cuneo chassis with different bodywork and later features, suggesting modifications or changes over time. The saleroom notices also suggest it may be the Achille Soria car, which was campaigned in Italian hill-climbing, indicating it has been used in racing events. All of this suggests it may be in Good condition, requiring some reconditioning to be fully restored and operational.
