The car is described as well-maintained and sparingly used. It has been repainted and rechromed, and the vendor has covered some 11,000 miles during his 22-year ownership and has had the car serviced regularly, as shown in invoices on file. Although the engine and braking system had been rebuilt immediately before the vendor bought the car, there are no invoices to substantiate this. It is said to run and drive well and to have always proved very reliable in the current ownership.
