Overall cosmetic and mechanical condition:

just been checked out by a hot rod mechanic set the carbs and who test drove it....I have also driven it :-)
engine starts easily and runs well, shifts, drives and brakes well, electrics and lighting all work
cosmetic condition is excellent, garage kept for whole life
chassis / underbody very clean and 99% rust free
few oil leaks as one might expect with these motors, running gear is solid and tight
some yellowing from old fuel leaks around carbs / intakes
needless to say, a real head-turner and always draws a crowd!
