I'd expect to see some crumbling rubber and rust on polished / shiny internal engine and gearbox surfaces (if you were to look for it!) at the very least.

But for this car I guess that isn't really a problem - I can't see it being used - it will probably be put in a plastic bubble to be preserved for the next few years until the time has come to sell it again.

At the moment the bid is just above $20,000 => I don't think you could restore one to that standard for that amount of money. Nice car.
