While the car has been well-maintained and retains an imposing presence with deep, reflective black coachwork and lustrous chrome, the interior is described as 'patinated' indicating wear. The engine starting is 'average' and some money was spent on re-commissioning in 1999, suggesting that reconditioning work has been necessary over time. There is no mention of any major dents or paint damages. Thus, a condition rating of 7 seems appropriate.
