The car was originally finished in Black (040), and work by Custom Classics by Aubrey in Lancaster, California, during the refurbishment included disassembling the car, stripping the body, performing metalwork, and a repaint in Anthracite Grey Metallic (172) with a replacement black convertible soft top. Additional equipment includes a driver-side mirror, a Cognac boot cover, a bright windshield surround, grille, and bumpers. The manually operated windshield washer does not work, and the seller notes paint imperfections.
Steel 13″ wheels wear chrome trim rings, hubcaps with body-color accents, and BFGoodrich Silvertown Radial whitewall tires. The car is equipped with a double-wishbone front suspension, rear swing axles with coil springs, and power-assisted drum brakes. The brake system was overhauled during the refurbishment.
The cabin was reupholstered and features low-back bucket seats upholstered in Cognac leather as well as matching door panels and dashboard trim. Amenities include a Becker Europa AM/FM radio, an analog clock, and a dashboard-mounted rearview mirror.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer and a 7k-rpm tachometer as well as gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 13k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. The instrumentation was rebuilt and recalibrated during the refurbishment, and total mileage is unknown.
The 1.9-liter M121 inline-four was overhauled, and it features resurfaced cylinder heads as well as a replacement starter, alternator, distributor, and main bearing. The Solex carburetors were rebuilt, and the removed alternator is included in the sale.

The oil was changed and the chassis and doors were lubricated in July 2022.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional photographs of the undersides are shown in the gallery below.
