Condition

The car is described as being in great condition overall, with the bodywork appearing well-aligned and no obvious dings or dents spotted during the visit. The paint, resprayed in 2008, has even coverage and consistent color. However, there is a small area of bubbling on the rear arches, which indicates a minor imperfection. The interior is well-maintained with period-correct seats and minimal wear. Mechanically, the engine has been rebuilt and runs well, and the suspension and brakes are in good condition. Overall, the car presents well but requires minor reconditioning to address the bubbling on the rear arches.
