The sculpted body remains in fine order with a deep shine and other than a couple of minor imperfections in the paint there are no major defects to speak of. The car was treated to a new mohair soft-top in 2015 and the condition is still immaculate; the rear screen is perfectly clear and we're pleased to report there are no leaks. The car further benefits from brighter HID headlights and subtle Afterburner LED rear lights. Better still, following a recent inspection the underside of the car was found to be in good solid condition with no outrigger issues to report. The staggered 500-specific wheels are perfect.

The cabin is lifted further with lashings of brushed aluminum and glossy burr walnut trim. Other commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gear knob present immaculately, and the original carpets are very clean indeed. In the boot you'll find a pre-wired maintenance charger and a handy rain cover.
