The dashboard is reported to have a full set of the correct instruments, and the odometer reads 9,405 miles since restoration, just 700 of which are said to have been covered in the last 10 years. The beige hood remains in good condition, it is said. The vendor says that mechanically it is in 'lovely running condition' having been freshly serviced. New tyres are fitted.
