Condition 

8

The car underwent a comprehensive two-year restoration completed in 2005 and has been diligently maintained since. While it's not been used in competitive driving or displayed in over a decade, the fastidious restoration suggests it remains in excellent condition, with only minor wear possible from limited use.
