Condition

The car has been dry-stored for 20 years and recently recommissioned with a new engine and brakes, plus a new convertible roof. It is described as a solid example that can be used as is. While it comes with many spares and documentation, the condition is not described as perfect or outstanding, suggesting some wear consistent with its age and storage. The statement 'can be used as it is' implies it's in very good driver condition rather than concours.
