Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

Condition 

8

The car has undergone a comprehensive restoration over two years with many new parts, including a rebuilt engine and gearbox, new sills, suspension, clutch, and a full glass-out respray. While it drove 70 miles to the auction with good oil pressure, the vendor's reason for selling (wife's back injury) does not impact the car's condition itself. The description implies a high level of refurbishment, fitting an 'Excellent' rating.
