The body is said to have been delivered from the factory in white and refinished in red under previous ownership. It was stripped, sandblasted, and repainted again in 2018 along with rebuilding the rocker panels and installing a replacement tan soft top. The headlight bezels and trim have been re-chromed, and the body harness and light sockets have reportedly been replaced. Features include a fold-down windshield, fender-mounted mirrors, and a chrome grille, bumpers, and overriders. A tan tonneau cover, headlight grilles, and wind deflectors will accompany the car. Close-up photos of scratch marks on the hood are included in the gallery.
Chrome 15″ 48-spoke wire wheels were added during the refurbishment and are wrapped in 185/80 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. Service performed under current ownership has reportedly included rebuilding the front shocks and replacing the lower control arms, front coil springs, front suspension bushings, master cylinder, and brake cylinders. A matching full-size spare is affixed to the rear of the car, and the factory jack is missing.
The twin bucket seats were replaced during the refurbishment and are upholstered in tan leather. Appointments include rear-hinged doors, a dash-mounted rearview mirror, an open glove compartment, lap belts, and a passenger grab bar. A spare hand crank is mounted in the rear compartment.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts octagonal Jaeger instrumentation that includes a 105-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and a combination gauge containing an ammeter as well as gauges for oil pressure and coolant temperature. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 59k miles, approximately 100 of which have been under current ownership.
The 1,500cc inline-four is said to have been rebuilt under previous ownership and features twin SU carburetors. Additional work performed since 2018 reportedly included installing replacement wiring, rebuilding the alternator, and replacing the starter, valve cover gasket, carburetor gaskets, intake and exhaust manifold gaskets, and seals for the main bearing, flywheel, and harmonic balancer.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The seller states that the front and rear transmission seals, driveshaft u-joints, and rear axle bearings and seals have been replaced.
Chassis number HDB468687 is listed on the chassis plate, and the VIN listed on the New York registration –HDB4618687– lists an additional digit.
