Chrome 16” wire wheels wear two-eared knock-off spinners and are wrapped in 195/75 Avon Avanza AV9 tires. A full-size spare is housed in the trunk. Work during current ownership included installing Wilwood front disc brakes and an aftermarket sway bar, rebuilding the steering box, servicing the rear wheel hubs, and replacing the left rear brake cylinder, right front hub, and front wheel bearings. The rear springs have nine leaves and are stiffer than the stock setup according to the seller.
The cabin is said to have been refreshed under prior ownership and features red leather seats along with color-coordinated door panels, dashboard accents, and carpets. Aftermarket bucket seatbacks were fitted in 2016, and additional amenities include burl wood accents, roll-down windows, a passenger grab handle from a Bentley, RJS 3″ lap belts, and a glovebox. A panel mounted under the dash houses controls for the auxiliary driving lights, electric cooling fan override, and clock. Additional work in 2016 included lowering the position of the clutch and brake pedals, adding a dedicated circuit for auxiliary accessories, and repairing the left window regulator, left door lock, and headlight wiring. The left door panel is torn near the window crank.
The 15″ Bluemels steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, a reverse-sweep tachometer, a combination oil and fuel level gauge, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles, approximately 4k of which were added during current ownership. Total mileage is unknown, and the seller states that the speedometer reads approximately 10 mph low.
The 3.4L twin-cam inline-six features dual SU carburetors, an aluminum radiator, a dual exhaust system, and a replacement C-type cylinder head. A lightened flywheel is reportedly fitted, and service during current ownership included rebuilding the carburetors, overhauling the generator, relocating the fuel filter, resealing the cam cover, tachometer drive fitting, and external oil pipe fitting, installing a 14″ electric cooling fan, fuel pressure regulator and gauge, and spin-on oil filter assembly, and replacing the fuel line, water pump, freeze plugs, battery ground cable, and voltage regulator. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
The five-speed manual transmission was installed under prior ownership, and the removed Moss transmission is included in the sale. Additional underside images are presented in the gallery.
