In 2011 the engine was professionally rebuilt but other work was never completed. The car starts easily and sounds strong and smooth. Interior and exterior parts and trim look to be all original. Paint is rough but uniform. Rear lock cover is detached but kept in the console box for reattachment. I am helping my uncle sell some of his collections so keep watching for other rare beasts.
