Condition 

7

The car is described as being in 'very good condition throughout' with the paintwork in good order with very few blemishes and the interior in fine fettle. Recent maintenance has been carried out, and the chassis has been repaired and re-skinned. However, the odometer is noted to be stuck, and there are some signs of wear consistent with a car of this age. Therefore, a condition rating of 7 seems appropriate.
