Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary

Condition
6
The car is described as presentable with a nice patina, but has bubbling to the sills, marks and cracking to some paint areas. The brightwork looks to be in good shiny order and presents well, as do the lights and glass. The interior is super, finished in deep oxblood with matching carpets and door cards, which look to have been renewed in recent years, although the wood cappings would likely benefit from a re-lacquer. There are a few tired rubber seals but again nothing unusual.
