Condition
7
The car is described as being in daily use and starting without issue, suggesting good mechanical condition. Recent replacements of parts like cardans, starter, servo brake, and steering box indicate proactive maintenance. The addition of a Webasto sunroof by a professional in 2008 and the inclusion of BMC Passion club bulletins and recent invoices suggest a well-cared-for vehicle owned by an enthusiast. However, without a detailed inspection report, it's challenging to rate it higher.
