Condition
8
The car is described as being in lovely overall condition with straight panel lines and no major dings or dents. The paint coverage is even with no noted imperfections, apart from a handful of small marks and a slight mark on the front lower trim. The interior shows well with minor wear on the driver's bolster and passenger seat base, and minor marks on cabin trim sections. The mechanicals are reported to be in good order with recent servicing and upgrades. The tyres are from 2018, which is good, but the car is over 25 years old, and there is slight wear on the jack points.
