Condition
8
The car is described as 'beautifully presented' and has a 'fantastic history' with a detailed ownership account from new. While it has been used in a film, this doesn't necessarily imply damage, and the lack of mention of any significant flaws suggests it's in excellent condition for its age. It is MOT exempt, indicating it likely meets basic roadworthiness standards, and the showing mileage of 43,000 is relatively low for a classic car. No significant defects are mentioned, pointing towards an Excellent (8) rating.
