Condition Report

In overall fine condition. Retaining an even patina and grain painted surface throughout, though possibly later, but certainly showing age. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The seat is largely disconnected from the front seat rail now and will likely need to be replaced. Craquelure and rubbing visible to the painted surface in areas.
