The car is described as an 'original unmolested car' with 'extensive history' and no paint or welding work, which suggests it has been well-maintained. However, there are 4 stamps in the service booklet, implying some level of use and potential need for minor reconditioning. The presence of MOT certificates and invoices further supports a history of maintenance.
