Condition 

6

While the car boasts a well-documented history and recent mechanical attention, the description mentions 'nicely patinated cream leather and carpets,' suggesting visible wear. The availability of a set of four wings 'by separate negotiation' implies they might not be in the same condition as the car itself. Also some of the ash framing has been replaced, indicating some degradation. Therefore the vehicle is in good, but not excellent condition.
