Condition 

7

The car has undergone a restoration in 2004, which is over 20 years ago. While it has been well-maintained and held in a notable collection, the age of the restoration suggests it would likely have some minor wear and require minor reconditioning to maintain its appearance and mechanical condition. It is not pristine or outstanding due to the age of the restoration, but given its history and care, it is better than average.
