The car is described as a 'sporting vintage special' built from a rolling chassis in 2014. While it 'runs and drives' and has been 'enjoyed locally by the current owner', the description notes an 'initial engine start that highlighted the need for further fettling', and the engine was subsequently 'comprehensively rebuilt'. This suggests it's not in perfect or near-perfect condition (Pristine/Outstanding) and likely requires some minor reconditioning.
