The vehicle is presented as a tribute car with deliberately 'shabby' paintwork, scratches, scuffs, and discolouration, matching the 'patinated' appearance of the original Only Fools and Horses van. Interior shows wear, including discolouration, tears in the carpet, and wear on the dashboard and steering wheel. While mechanically sound with recent servicing, the focus is on replicating the worn look of the TV vehicle, affecting its overall condition rating.
