Car is in good original condition. Rare full maroon color. Paint looks to be 100 percent factory original. There’s a small scratch on the roof and there’s no sign of any other colors anywhere. I can’t find any information on a full maroon car but to my eye it definitely doesn’t look like a repaint. It is missing a wheel on one of the turnstiles.
