The car has undergone a refurbishment completed in the late 1980s, and recent work since 2023 includes rebuilding carburetors, distributor, and replacing various engine and brake components. While the odometer has rolled over, approximately 7,500 miles have been added under the current ownership, suggesting consistent use and maintenance. The car presents well with its British Racing Green paint and Suede Green leather interior, but the mileage and age indicate it's not pristine, hence an 'Excellent' rating.
