Condition 

7

The car is described as being restored in the late 1990s and beautifully preserved since. While small bubbles are noted under the paint and one switch on the dashboard is not of the correct type, the interior has been completely restored and is in very good condition. The engine was found to have been totally restored and remained remarkably fresh after being checked in October 2023. The brakes and clutch have been recently restored and the car's underside is very clean.
