AI Listing Summary
This 1952 MG YB has undergone two restorations, the most recent completed in 2012, along with an engine overhaul including performance upgrades. It features a non-original two-tone grey livery, charcoal grey interior, and wire wheels, but the car's condition is not specified, requiring potential buyers to inspect the history file and images of the restoration to assess its current state.
Condition
7
While the car has undergone two restorations and an engine overhaul, the description notes that the first restoration was in 1984-85, and there's mention of wear visible in the paint and interior. The recent brake overhaul and full service are positives, but the age of the first restoration and potential wear suggest it's not in pristine condition.
