Condition

While the car has been well-maintained and actively rallied, it is described as retaining a 'fantastic patina,' suggesting visible signs of age and use rather than a pristine or near-perfect condition. The listing highlights its mechanical soundness and recent works by specialists, but also notes that its level of patination indicates it has been used and enjoyed, implying some cosmetic wear.
