Condition
7
The car has been resprayed and had a new headlining fitted, along with recent brake work. The leather upholstery is in very good condition. There is also evidence of regular maintenance and participation in classic car shows, with no known mechanical faults. The car also benefits from a manual conversion, suggesting the owner cared about performance and handling beyond stock. However, the car is not new, and with the respray it is more than likely that the vehicle has some slight imperfections.

The original olive leather upholstery remains in very good condition and we are informed that the exhaust system is stainless steel and that the motor car benefits from electronic ignition and a CD player.
