I wouldn't describe it as in relic condition, just not been look after for a long time. I recall seeing something similar, some years ago, in one of the many large country houses open to the public here in the U.K.. I do recall that it had the history of how the MG was captured recorded on it's side, I think on the butt side. The reason that it was on display in the house was because the former owner/Lord of the manor had been the officer in charge when it was captured.
