Condition

The car has been extensively restored and well-maintained, with recent paintwork in lovely order except for one small dent. The interior is nicely trimmed, though it currently has Mazda MX-5 seats installed for rallying instead of the original seats which are available. Mechanically, it's reported to be in beautiful running order with hydraulic brakes and a lively engine. Overall, it presents very well but isn't in perfect 'as-new' condition.
