Condition
8
While the car has undergone a detailed restoration, retaining many original parts and trim, it's not in perfect 'Pristine' or 'Outstanding' condition due to its history of use, including minor accident repair and engine replacements. The engine is understood to be the third such unit fitted to this car. The detailed restoration and ongoing maintenance indicate it's better than 'Very Good,' but the car's history prevents it from being rated higher than 'Excellent'.
