Condition
7
The car underwent a professional restoration in the 1990s, including a new frame. While the exterior is described as strong overall with glossy paint, there are a few small stress cracks and a chip on the Lotus badge. Dunlop tires are claimed to be near-new. The car runs well with even compression. However, the listing also mentions that the original number on the dash plaque was destroyed and has since been replicated. Given these factors, the car appears to be in very good condition, with some wear and tear but generally well-maintained.
