Condition

The car is described as being in sound order, with the chassis and bodywork primarily used for competition purposes. It has a well-documented competition history, suggesting it has been maintained to a functional standard rather than a cosmetic one.

The gearbox synchro is noted as worn, and while the engine has been rebuilt with performance parts, the description doesn't emphasize pristine condition. The reference to scrutineering tickets and past racing suggests the car has been actively used and may show signs of wear typical of a competition vehicle.
