Condition
7
The car underwent a cosmetic refurbishment in the mid-2000s and a mechanical overhaul in the late 2000s, including engine rebuild and transmission upgrade. The Smiths instrumentation was refurbished in late 2020. While the car has been driven sparingly since the mechanical work, and the interior appears to be in good condition with beige Connolly leather, some wear is visible in the Pirelli tires with 2017 date codes and the car is a driver that has been campaigned on tracks. Minor reconditioning may be required.
