Exterior paint presents well for age was re painted in 1991 a couple cracks and chips but expected for its age. Period correct Michelen tyres chrome recently polished presenting well again for its age.
Interior is in great condition, has been redone at some stage in its life wood work presents very well also. Period correct radio and speaker in rear tray.
Mechanically drives well for being 75 years old cruises around 50/55 mph. I have done a few adjustments to the front suspension as per the extensive mechanical maintenance book some bushs are showing some wear as expected for its age.
