Maintenance & restoration
- —Maintenance
While in UK storage, the car was started on a weekly schedule to keep it in running order; this routine caused gradual wear to the outer bolster of the driver's seat from repeated entry and exit.
No mechanical work was carried out; this entry documents the preservation regime rather than a discrete repair.
- —Repair
Driver's seat Alcantara bolster had developed wear, so both seats were replaced to prevent further deterioration; the original seats were retained and are included with the car.
- —Mechanical
Original Pirelli CN36 tyres replaced with new rubber for safe road use; originals, including the unused spare, are included with the car.
- —Service
A recent professional service was carried out to bring the car to a ready-to-drive condition prior to the auction.
