Condition

The car is described as an 'excellent original example' discovered by a prominent Ferrari collector. It successfully competed in the 1995 Tour de France rally and was driven from Biarritz to Beaulieu without fault after the event, indicating good mechanical condition. Heavy-duty suspension was installed, and a brake overhaul was performed prior to the rally, suggesting proactive maintenance. While the car is described positively, the listing also notes that it is subject to VAT and duty, implying that some reconditioning or updates may be needed to meet modern standards or buyer preferences. Overall, the description points to a car in very good condition, but not pristine or outstanding due to its age and rally use.
