While the car is described as 'very smart' and 'looking as if it is barely a year old,' there are some factors that prevent it from being rated higher. The mileage is not guaranteed, and there is mention of the car living in London for a long time, which could imply more wear and tear. The engine has been changed, and the owner had issues getting it to run right. These factors suggest it may require some reconditioning.

It has a manual gearbox, manual choke, cloth trim but also such luxuries as heated front seats and electric front windows (keep-fit windows in the back) and should go on for years and years and ...
