• Interior: The interior has been completely renewed, presenting a nearly new appearance. There are minor flaws on the dashboard and headliner, but these are minimal and do not compromise the overall impressive condition of the cabin.

Mechanical Condition

• Engine: The engine has been regularly serviced since purchase, ensuring it runs perfectly as evidenced by a forthcoming video of the engine starting and running.

• Mileage: True mileage is unknown (TMU), but the car has been driven less than 200 miles since purchase, reflecting its limited use and careful upkeep.

• Maintenance: Recent services include engine maintenance, new tires, and multiple oil changes, ensuring the car remains in peak mechanical condition.
