The car is described as being in superb order with incredibly low mileage of just 1,723 miles. The bodywork is finished in black and the paint retains an excellent shine across all panels. The panel fit is superb and the condition of the exterior is simply the best we have ever seen. The same goes for the black interior that seems to have little or no wear to either the leather seats, dash, door cards or headlining. The engine bay is a joy to behold and the components have been superbly detailed.
