The car is described as needing 'fettling and re-commissioning for regular use,' indicating it's not in perfect running order but has good bones. It has undergone a chassis replacement and some restoration work, yet requires further attention to be fully roadworthy. The inclusion of spare parts suggests potential mechanical needs, while the cosmetic aspects are well-appointed with Connolly hide upholstery and a mohair soft-top, offset by the need for recommissioning.
