Condition
6
The car is described as a 'sound and useable' car that drives well and is highly original, never having been restored. The chassis is in very good condition, but the bodywork is described as 'fair for its age' and needs some repairs and a repaint. The interior is very original and well patinated, if a little scruffy. The engine is extremely smooth, and there are no noises from the transmission. Therefore, a rating of 'Good' seems appropriate.
