While the car has undergone multiple restorations, it has also been significantly modified, particularly into a Spider Corsa form. The quality of the restorations is high, as evidenced by awards at Pebble Beach and other concours events.

The car presents well and is mechanically sound, but its history and modifications prevent a higher rating.
