Silver-finished 15″ knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 185/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were reportedly mounted in 2021. Additional work in 2021 included installing a brake servo kit and replacing the steering idler box, rear pitman arm, front brake calipers, rear hubs, and rear wheel cylinders.

A banjo-style steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline, and a combination gauge indicating coolant temperature and oil pressure, as well as a Jaeger fuel-level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 40k miles, approximately 5k of which were added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.9-liter inline-six is fed by dual SU carburetors and was factory rated at 150 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with an electronically actuated overdrive unit. The transmission mounts and stay rod bushings were replaced in 2021.
