Condition 

7

The car presents well for its age, with a refreshed paint job and a recently rebuilt engine. While there are some minor cosmetic imperfections like stone chips and wear on the seats, the replaced carpets, headlining, and boot liner contribute to a positive overall impression. The clean MOT pass and comprehensive service history further support a rating in the 'Very Good' to 'Excellent' range.
