It has reputedly had a new Rolls Royce engine fitted at accost of £2,800 but there is no documentation. Canvas roof is in good condition and has a nice patina, the canvas sides and doors are with the vehicle are in good used condition and are green in colour which is darker than the roof which is more khaki colour. There is some paint loss to the sides from use (people getting in and out) and to the red towing rings and also the bonnet clasps.
