Well of course anything could have been done to it in the last 30+
years, but it looks like it was driven around, which is also what
Nicky told me -- the previous owner, in Beverly Hills, drove the
thing, when he became unable to drive, it parked, then was 'got
rid of' by who know who. It went to a yard and Nicky's landlord
picked it up. If true, it implies it wasn't running, or dusty, or
whatever. It's just a little green car (stylish though it is), not
some "obvious" Rolls Royce. Most people would have no clue if they
haven't 'seen one on TV'.
