Condition

7

The car has undergone refurbishment with engine work, transmission upgrades, and brake/steering system overhauls. While it presents well in Avanti Turquoise with a matching interior, there are mentions of previous refinishing and replaced components, such as speakers and carpets. Noteworthy is the inoperative clock. Given the mix of updated and original elements, alongside some wear consistent with its age, the condition is best described as very good.
