The car is described as a 'tidy driver — sound and useable rather than a concours restoration — with the honest character of a well-kept example that has seen occasional use over the decades.'

It's not pristine or outstanding due to not being a concours restoration and showing signs of occasional use, but it is sound and driveable, ruling out lower ratings.
