The car has been restored including a respray between 1984 and 1986. The engine was rebuilt in March 2020. The listing mentions factory service history up to March 1965 and that it appears the car covered around 100,000 miles in its first 10 years, since when only some 17,000 miles have been covered. This indicates moderate wear and that some reconditioning is required.
