Condition
6
The description states it is an 'honest and usable example' with 'period modifications' and notes the presence of 'old MOT certificates and invoices'. It doesn't mention any specific damage like dents, scratches, or curb marks, but the term 'honest example' and 'usable' suggests it's not pristine or outstanding. It is rated as 'Good' because while it has modifications and supporting history, there's no indication of perfect condition, and 'honest and usable' implies some level of wear expected for a classic car.
