While the car has been restored and maintained, it has been actively used in VSCC events and has a well-worn patina. The description notes the car's beautiful patina with deeply quilted leather upholstery worn and its woodwork weathered, indicating its age and use. It received mechanical and cosmetic attention and was prepared prior to sale, suggesting it's in good working order but not in pristine or like-new condition. Given its age and active use, it cannot be rated as pristine, outstanding, or excellent.
