The car is described as being in 'very good condition' and 'genuine, honest, and about as original as you can get'. While the paintwork is 'not perfect' with the front right wing having been repainted, the interior is described as 'lovely original' and the car starts and runs well without smoke. It has been well-maintained and stored, with upgraded brakes. The vendor explicitly states, 'If you want a mint condition car, this one isn't for you.' This aligns with a 'Very Good' rating, indicating slight wear visible but overall solid condition with minor imperfections.
