The car has undergone a professional restoration in 1992 and has been featured in Classic & Sports Car magazine. It retains its original engine and gearbox, and recent mechanical work includes re-bushed suspension, an uprated anti-roll bar, new radiator, water pump, hoses, and clutch slave cylinder. While there's no mention of significant damage or flaws, the 'Excellent' rating is appropriate for a well-maintained and restored classic.
