The car has undergone a restoration by LaVine Restorations and received ACD Club Category 1 Original certification in March 2002, followed by an award for Best Cord in 2003 and second place at the 2004 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Recent service records from 2009 to the present and specific maintenance in April 2025 and May 2026 indicate diligent upkeep. The odometer shows 89k miles, with only about 300 added under the current ownership, suggesting minimal use since the restoration. While not explicitly stated as perfect, its concours awards and documented maintenance suggest it is in near-perfect condition with minor signs of use.
