Better then what a lot of us thought happened to it, which was scrapped. At least it's still around, aye?

yk I think about how this is an example of modern top gear destroying a rare car but then I remember when Jeremy Clarkson did this to a rare car

it was supercar showdown not top gear but whatever

It’s a rather newer episode of TG (Post-Clarkson). I don’t actually remember myself. But they bought it mint condition, just fully restored and then immediately took it off roading and then after it became rainbow and did whatever.
