Condition

The car has a wonderfully patinated appearance throughout, including its original maroon leather interior, which is beautifully worn and as comfortable as a favorite baseball glove. Its bodywork is finished in rich, deep black, which is perhaps the best color for this body style, and it is accentuated by the original Wilmot Breedon bumpers, dual driving lights, and subtle blackwall tires. Under the hood, its finishes are somewhat worn but tidy, in keeping with a car that has been driven and enjoyed for some years, and it still wears its original firewall-mounted serial number tag, its original body number, and the delivery plate from Franco-Brittanic Automobiles.
