Condition
8
The car is described as being in excellent condition overall. The bodywork is in excellent condition with good shutlines and a reassuring air of solidity. The paintwork shines well and has no obvious damage or scratches. The interior is in great condition, with the seats, carpets, and leather all well-maintained. The engine fires into life at the press of a button and idles perfectly. The only real negative is that the hood needs some attention.

Like the front bumper, which incorporates a badge bar and overriders as well as double-height corners.
It’s a fantastic piece of design tha...
