Condition
6
The car is described as being in very sound condition and running well, having benefited from a partial restoration prior to 1987, when the entire body was restored and repainted. Today there are a few cracks and dents, though the wooden framework appears to be in good condition. Panel fit is good and the chrome is in generally good condition, while the interior has the charming patina of an older restoration (one instrument is not original).
