Condition 

6

While the car is noted to be in highly original condition with a strong maintenance history, there are several noted cosmetic and mechanical issues that affect the overall condition. These include scuffs on the front spoiler and side valance, blemishes around the tailgate button, fading trim, wear on the driver’s seat, a stiff driver’s seat mechanism, a non-functional rear electric window, a slightly high engine idle speed, and a slight weep from the thermostat hose. While the car passed its last MOT with no advisories, these issues indicate it's not in excellent or near-perfect condition.
