Condition
7
The car has a clean MOT history with no advisories, indicating good mechanical condition. However, the description mentions it is a 'significantly modified example' and 'comprehensively enhanced', which often implies some wear or imperfections that might not be immediately visible or detailed in the provided text. The odometer reading is also not warranted. Without visual inspection or more specific details on cosmetic condition, 'Very Good' seems appropriate.
