While the car was restored to original condition and has been well-maintained, including annual servicing by F40 Restorations, it has undergone a minor cosmetic freshening and was seldom driven, suggesting it is primarily a showpiece rather than actively used. The listing mentions receipts for recent servicing, pointing to ongoing care, but also indicates it's from an estate, implying it hasn't been driven much recently. Considering these factors, a rating of Excellent (8) seems appropriate, acknowledging its well-maintained state and minimal cosmetic imperfections.
