The car has undergone extensive restoration in the 2000s, which included fitting a new body. It is described as a desirable example with a supercharged engine and other advanced features for its time. The term 'beautifully sculpted' suggests a high-quality finish, and the overall description implies a car in excellent, near-perfect condition for a classic vehicle. It is a 'final Type 57 example built' and 'owned early in its life by famed Ecurie Ecosse sponsor and esteemed collector Maj. Edward G. Thomson', which indicates its historical significance and likely careful preservation.
