the bumpers chrome looks perfect in the pictures, while they are very serviceable and decent, they are not" perfect", showing typical minor aging expected in a car this age. The rear differential, while perfect in operation and running,  does drop 1 -2 drops per day, typical british seep, I have just refilled for 1st time in 5 months (was about 1/2 full), would refill again in 6 months or so.. a 20 minute task easily performed.
