The seller notes that the fiberglass bodywork in front of the cowl was replaced due to an engine fire under prior ownership, and the car was subsequently refinished in Indigo Blue. Exterior details include a beige canvas soft top, side mirrors, and chrome bumpers with overriders. The windshield washer pump does not work. There is damage to the bodywork under the right side of the front bumper and paint cracks under the left side. Exterior blemishes are shown in the gallery below.
Chrome-finished 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Classic tires. A painted spare wheel mounted with a Nexen tire is located in the trunk. The front suspension is equipped with a sway bar. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes that are said to have been converted to a dual-circuit system.
The seller reports that refurbishment work included reupholstering the front bucket seats, rear bench, dashboard, and door panels in Auburn Bridge of Weir leather. Equipment includes a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a heater, an aftermarket shift knob, and retractable front three-point seatbelts. USB charge ports and an Alpine head unit with Bluetooth connectivity are located under the dash.
The wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel frames a 140-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while four auxiliary gauges are housed in the centrally located machined panel. The seller notes that the instrumentation was replaced during the refurbishment. The five-digit odometer shows 20k miles, approximately 7k of which have been added by the seller. True mileage is unknown. The needle for the fuel gauge bounces.
The 2.5-liter V8 is equipped with dual SU carburetors and a fan shroud. Work performed during the refurbishment consisted of machining the crankshaft, boring the cylinders .030″ over, and balancing the engine. The engine is said to feature a Pertronix electronic ignition and a 25-amp generator.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with a rebuilt Laycock de Normanville overdrive unit that was installed in 2014. Refurbishment work reportedly included rebuilding the transmission with a larger clutch and pressure plate sourced from an Austin-Healy and installing a stainless-steel exhaust system.
A Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate is included in the sale and lists the original colors and component numbers as well as production and dispatch dates.
