While the car has been extensively restored and rebuilt, including engine work, new body fabric, re-trimmed interior, and new wheels, wiring, and body frame, it also has seen racing use and Continental travel, suggesting wear and tear. The description notes it's in 'generally very good order' and wants only 'a new appreciative owner,' implying it's not in pristine or near-perfect condition. It requires someone who can appreciate its current state and possibly undertake minor reconditioning.
