Condition
8
The car has been painstakingly restored and rebodied to lightweight 'Alloy' specification and fitted with a 3.8-litre racing engine. It has an FIA Technical Passport valid until 2029 and has only covered 2,000 miles since its racing début.

While it has been raced, it's now equipped for road use and benefits from recent, meticulous preparation. Given the racing pedigree and high-quality restoration, it aligns with 'Excellent' condition.
