Condition

7

The car has undergone a sympathetic restoration aimed at regular touring and club events, not concours. The bodywork is reported to be in good order, and the interior has been retrimmed. It starts readily, runs sweetly, maintains good oil pressure, and is capable of cruising at 60mph. While it has been carefully maintained and is described as a usable classic, the restoration implies it's not in pristine or outstanding condition, but rather solid with some wear consistent with its age and intended use.
