While the car is described as running and driving well, capable of comfortable cruising, and regularly serviced, it's also noted to be a 'special' with a replacement engine (Buick E-49) and a body made by Mick Sharpe. The presence of build receipts totaling £150,000 suggests significant restoration work, including engine rebuild, chassis restoration, and new body fabrication. The addition of front brakes and other features like the tachometer and 'taller' rear axle ratio further indicate modifications beyond original condition. Considering these modifications and restoration efforts, the car presents well but deviates from its original factory specifications.
