Condition
8
The car is described as being in very well-sorted condition, with near-perfect paintwork, excellent original interior with a nice patina, exceptional walnut wood interior trim, and a detailed engine bay. The chrome is very good, and the glass appears original and blemish-free. The car runs well, with good oil pressure and consistent water temperature. The brakes are sharp, and the suspension is tight, having benefited from a recent rebuild. The overall driving experience is extremely pleasant. There is evidence that the car had a re-spray in the last 5 years and a suspension/brake rebuild.
