Condition 

6

The car's description suggests that it may have been prepared to a full period ('93-'96') specification, and there is a vendor statement that the car may have been built for Colin McCrae and Niki Grist, but has not been verified in writing. There are also indications of it being the subject of an insurance claim in 2004. These factors, combined with the mileage and previous keepers, and lack of specific detail of condition, suggests that it is likely in 'Good' condition.
