The car was originally black, and the color change to red was reportedly carried out in the 1990s. Exterior features include a tan soft top, 7″ driving lights, chrome rear bumperettes, and dual exhaust outlets. The front bumper has been removed and is included in the sale, along with a set of removable side curtains.
The chrome 16” wire wheels are secured by two-eared knockoffs and wrapped in 185-series Michelin Radial tires. A full-size spare is mounted in the trunk. Braking is from drums at all four corners. Suspension and brake overhauls in 2014 included rebuilding the shocks, installing a stainless-sleeved brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders, turning the drums, and replacing the brake shoes, rear springs, tie rod ends, and limiting straps.
The cabin was trimmed in red from the factory and has since been reupholstered in tan leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Lap belts are fitted for both occupants, and additional features include a height-adjustable rear-view mirror, a heater, a passenger-side grab handle, and map pockets in both doors.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a tan dash panel housing Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 59k miles.
The 3.4-liter inline-six features dual SU carburetors and is equipped with a PerTronix electronic ignition system. An aluminum radiator and electric fan have also been added. The carburetors were rebuilt in 2017. Oil leaks are noted.
Cylinder head stamping F4019-8S is shown above. The number matches the chassis plate and Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Additional photos of the underside are provided in the image gallery.
