The car was painted red under previous ownership, and during the refurbishment, the door locks were removed and the taillight housings were re-chromed. Details include front and rear bumperettes, driving lights, fender-mounted mirrors, and a split windshield. Close-up images of cracking paint are provided in the gallery.
The 16″ wire wheels feature two-eared knockoff spinners and are mounted with 6.00 Coker Classic wide whitewall tires. Braking is handled by red-finished drums at all four corners. Work during the refurbishment reportedly included replacing suspension components along with the wheel bearings, wheel cylinders, primary brake cylinder, brake shoes, and brake lines.
The seats are upholstered in black and red leather. Appointments include a black dashboard, door panels, and carpets as well as a dash-mounted rearview mirror and map pockets in both doors. Wear is visible on the seats.
The four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer, and supplementary gauges. The mechanical odometer shows 22k miles, approximately 300 of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
During the refurbishment, the 3.4-liter inline-six was rebuilt by Steve’s Jaguar Service of Canoga Park, California, and features an aluminum radiator and dual SU carburetors. Additional work included refinishing the exhaust manifolds, installing an electric choke, removing the heater core, rebuilding the voltage regulator, generator, carburetors, and water pump, and replacing the fuel pump, fuel sending unit, wiring harness, and fuse block.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The transmission and rear axle were rebuilt and clutch components were replaced during the refurbishment.
