Centralized Smiths instrumentation includes a 140-mph speedometer and a reverse-sweep tachometer as well as an ammeter and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 16k miles.
The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is said to feature a balanced lower end, aftermarket camshafts, and twin large-diameter SU carburetors. Further updates are said to have included installation of an electronic ignition ignition unit, an alternator, and a tubular exhaust header.
