Condition 

8

The car was built around 2006 and has only been driven approximately 2,000 miles since, indicating very light use. It won 'Best of Show' in 2009, suggesting excellent overall condition at that time. While there were some recent service needs related to the engine's fuel system and charging, these have been addressed. The description highlights a high-quality build with professional metalwork, paint, and upholstery. The only noted issues are minor service items and the fact it's a custom build, which generally means it's not in 'pristine' factory condition, but very close to it.
