Condition

The car has had significant mechanical work done, including a gearbox rebuild, top-end engine overhaul, and new wiring harness. However, the paintwork is described as needing further attention, and the interior is original, suggesting some wear. The car is usable and has been driven recently, but the cosmetic imperfections and need for further paintwork bring the condition rating down.
