Features include split chrome bumpers, glass headlight covers, welded hood louvers, external hood latches, central exhaust outlets, and a black soft top and boot cover. The trunk-hinge spring and hood chrome were replaced in 2020. Blemishes in the paint are pictured in the gallery below.

Features include split chrome bumpers, glass headlight covers, welded hood louvers, external hood latches, central exhaust outlets, and a black soft top and boot cover. The trunk-hinge spring and hood chrome were replaced in 2020. Blemishes in the paint are pictured in the gallery below.
Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-off spinners and mounted with 205/70 Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. A spare wearing a Pirelli tire is located in the trunk. Braking is through four-wheel discs.
The cabin was trimmed in black leather from the factory and was refurbished with upholstery sourced from BAS International in 2020. Textured aluminum was replaced in 2020 and trims the dashboard and center console. Equipment includes lap belts for both occupants, a push-button radio, toggle switches, and a height-adjustable rearview mirror. The radio was repaired in 2014.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel features exposed aluminum on the inner prongs and frames Smiths instrumentation including a 260-km/h speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock. The five-digit odometer shows 50 kilometers (~30 miles); true mileage is unknown. The speedometer was replaced in 2021.
The 3.8-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower. The camshaft gaskets were replaced in 2020, and the oil was changed and the coolant flushed in 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery.
