The car was substantially restored in 2020 with significant investment in parts, indicating a strong effort to bring it to a high standard. The description notes that it runs and drives well with effective brakes and steering. However, it also mentions that the previous owner started the restoration, and the car was in storage for a while, suggesting some potential variability in the quality of the work. Overall, it presents well but might not be in perfect 'Pristine' condition.

Description Substantially restored in 2020 with £1,500 spent on parts alone; only three owners since 1977; ready for new adventures First registered in London in March 1937, this Ruby Mk2 has had just three owners since 1977, according to HPI.
