Based on the listing, the car 'has benefited from having so few owners - all of them apparently wealthy enough to maintain it in good order.' The engine is mechanically superb; the Cotal gearbox has been upgraded and operates exceptionally well; the bodywork is extremely sound and the entire motorcar was repainted in a soft shade of Old English White some ten years ago and the wool-lined hood retrimmed in Dark Blue mohair. The interior is delightful, with excellent, similarly-coloured leather trim and original wooden dashboard and door cappings'. The Hotchkiss rides on a matching set of barely used Avon crossply tyres.
