Remarks
Bodywork appears to be solid, the floor pan, engine bay and boot floor are in good shape. The front valance, chassis frame and radiator cross member look tidy with no problems noted within the wheel wells or jacking points. Externally, there is no discernible corrosion noted, with the metal work in good shape throughout. The nose and rear valance look free of distortion. The passenger doors open and close without sagging. The panel fit is good, with even shut lines. The hood is in excellent condition, with no signs of outdoor storage. The rear screen is free of clouding or rips, with just a light sheen of age noted. It raises and lowers without any issues. The paint finish has a good lustre though some areas not an exact even colour match which you wouldn’t know without close inspection, with just a few light marks and swirls commensurate with the age of the car but overall, it presents very well. The bumpers are well mounted to the car, with no signs of damage. There are a handful of minor scuffs but nothing to distract. The lights and lens are all neatly presented. The chrome work is in very good condition, the chrome over the windscreen does need to be resealed. The glass is intact with any marks aligned to the expectations of a car of this age.
