The car is said to have been previously finished in red and was reportedly repainted in metallic blue in the mid-2000s. Further work in 2012 included installing a Series I clamshell hood without front bumpers and painting silver stripes. Additional exterior elements include recessed headlights with glass covers, leather hold-down straps, vinyl Jaguar-branded side graphics, venting rear quarter windows, a side-hinged rear hatch, a chrome rear bumper with overriders, and polished dual exhaust outlets.

A leather-wrapped Moto-Lita steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, centrally positioned auxiliary gauges, and an analog clock. The five-digit odometer shows 21k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added by the current owner. True mileage is unknown.
The 4.2-liter inline-six was rebuilt and bored 0.030″ over by Donovan Motorcar Service of Lenox, Massachusetts, in 2012 and is equipped with triple SU carburetors. Additional work included the installation of the following components:

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed T5 manual transmission and a 3.77:1 limited-slip differential. Indentations and flaking paint are present on the underside of the car, and a worn exhaust flex joint is noted.
