Condition

7

The car is described as being in 'stunning' condition with a 'black leather interior' and 'colour-coded hood'. It has been purchased from a specialist and has a history file. While it has had 6 former keepers, the mileage is relatively low (53,208) and it has only covered 227 miles since the current vendor acquired it in 2021. It was reported to have started, run, and driven on-site. Although no specific condition defects are mentioned, the criteria for 'Very Good' (slight wear visible, one or two small dents or curb marks may be present but are not prominent) seems appropriate for a 1999 vehicle with this history, rather than 'Excellent' or 'Outstanding' which imply near-perfect condition.
