The car is described as well-maintained and recently serviced, with a substantial data file documenting its history and upkeep. It has undergone considerable work by Vintage and Historic restoration specialists, with some £40,000-50,000 spent during the vendor's ownership. While it's a competition 3-Litre with a sporting pedigree and capable of exceeding 100mph, it's also noted that the 4½-Litre engine has reproduction parts (crankcase, mating sump, cylinder block), indicating it is not an original engine. Overall, the car presents well but requires careful assessment due to the engine modifications and use of reproduction parts.
