Replacement 15″ knockoff wire wheels are finished in chrome and mounted with 205/65 Vredestein Quatrac tires. Braking is handled by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear rotors. The car is equipped with Koni shocks at all four corners. Work in October 2019 included repairing the steering rack and replacing the upper and lower front ball joints as well as the brake master cylinder, servo, and lines.
The cabin is equipped with bucket seats trimmed in red upholstery, along with a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpets. Appointments include hand-crank side windows, a cabin heater, lap belts, a center armrest, and an Autovox push-button radio. The dash pad and center console were reupholstered in 2019 and the heater valve was replaced.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and centrally positioned auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, approximately 4k of which have been added by the seller. The clock inset in the tachometer does not work.
The 4.2-liter inline-six features triple SU carburetors, an aftermarket high-torque starter, and an aluminum radiator. The engine compartment was disassembled, cleaned, and components refinished in the fall of 2019 by Donovan Motorcar Service of Lenox, Massachusetts. At this time the carburetors were rebuilt and the fuel pump was replaced.
The cylinder head stamping is shown above, and close-up photos showing the stamping on the block are included below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The clutch hydraulic cylinders and differential cover gasket were replaced in October 2019 and the fluids for the transmission and differential were flushed. An undercoating was also applied to the chassis at that time.
