The car was stripped and repainted in the factory shade of Colorado Red by Wicker’s Body Shop of Kendallville, Indiana. A black convertible top and boot are fitted in addition to a hood scoop, chrome bumpers with bumperettes, fender-mounted mirrors, an exposed fuel filler cap, and dual polished exhaust outlets.
Chrome-clad 15″ 60-spoke knock-off wire wheels are mounted with 165-series Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. A spare is located in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.
The interior features front bucket seats and contoured rear seats which were reupholstered in red leather with black piping along with a matching dash and door panels. Sound deadening insulation was fitted to the interior along with replacement Heritage carpet, a Smiths heater, the factory shift knob, and a dash-mounted rear view mirror.
A wood-rimmed Moto Lita steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 40k miles, approximately 3k of which have been added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 2.9-liter inline-six is equipped with twin SU carburetors and was stripped and repainted during the refurbishment, at which time a stainless-steel exhaust system was fitted. A fuel line was repaired in preparation for the sale.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate shows factory colors and equipment as well as a build completion date of August 6, 1963.
