The paint has not oxidized. There is a dull spot on the hood (bonnet). 
Interior is clean and well-maintained with Leatherique, some little 
cracks in the left bolster of the driver's seat have been repaired and 
dyed with the Leatherique kit.

About 110,000 miles, engine and transmission pronounced strong by the 
German-trained dealership (moonlighting) mechanic who did the service 
tabulated below. 0-60 MPH in 7.0 seconds. Mobil One in the crankcase.
