Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Very good older repaint. Scratched and dinged up front chrome. Very good, lightly worn interior. Good wood. Worn steering wheel. Light bezels are lightly pitted. Lightly discolored top. A sound older restoration and as a Drophead Coupe with the 3.5-liter engine (up from the standard 2.5), it's the most desirable Mk V. It is past its prime, however, and it doesn't come with much in the way of history or paperwork.
Market commentary
There is very little premium for the extra power of the 3 1/2 Liter engine in this result, but also full recognition of the age of the restoration and cosmetic issues. The compromise makes sense. The new owner got a bit more automobile, but also a bit more work to bring it up to standards that will render it a proud driver.
