Condition

Based on the vendor's assessment, the car has very good engine and gearbox, good electrical equipment and bodywork, but poor to average interior trim and paintwork. The seller also mentions that the paintwork is cracked and flaking in places, and the front seats need recovering. The car would benefit from remedial renovation work.
