CONDITION AND RECOMMENDED WORKS
Being a period piece kept in a collection and unused for some time, the frame and premium components are in generally good condition. As a historic vehicle with precision mechanics stored in a garage, a quick general tune-up is recommended, along with cleaning and lubrication of moving parts and a routine check of cables and fasteners before riding. Aesthetically it retains its extraordinary authentic original patina, showing small, natural signs of age and finish that attest to its historical authenticity.
