Finished from the factory in British Racing Green, the bodywork underwent rust repair during the aforementioned refurbishment prior to a repaint in the current shade of green. Exterior details include a louvered hood, uncovered headlamps, amber side-marker lenses, and dual central exhaust outlets. Various paint chips and an outward dent in the hood are noted by the seller, who also states that the driver’s door is out of alignment at the bottom rear corner.

Finished from the factory in British Racing Green, the bodywork underwent rust repair during the aforementioned refurbishment prior to a repaint in the current shade of green. Exterior details include a louvered hood, uncovered headlamps, amber side-marker lenses, and dual central exhaust outlets. Various paint chips and an outward dent in the hood are noted by the seller, who also states that the driver’s door is out of alignment at the bottom rear corner.
Dayton 15” wire wheels were installed during the refurbishment, are secured by two-eared knock-off spinners, and are mounted with 205/70 Steel Belted Radial tires. A matching spare is found in the rear storage area. Braking is through four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rear units and Wilwood front calipers. The front and rear subframes were removed and powdercoated during the refurbishment, and additional work at that time included replacing the steering rack, tie-rod ends, wheel bearings, and suspension bushings.
The cabin was originally trimmed in Cinnamon upholstery, and its 2+2 layout was reupholstered during the refurbishment. Amenities include an R134a-converted air-conditioning system, a RetroSound AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, rocker switches for vehicle functions, a Wilton wool headliner, and lap belts for the front occupants.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 6k-rpm tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and a suite of auxiliary displays. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 69k miles, and true mileage is unknown. The seller notes that the choke pull does not sit flush to the dash, thereby causing the warning light to stay illuminated.
The 4.2L inline-six was rebuilt during the refurbishment and reportedly bored .030” over. Equipment includes triple SU carburetors, a gold-colored cylinder head, and polished cam covers as well as 9:1-compression pistons, upgraded camshafts, PerTronix ignition, a high-torque starter, and a stainless-steel exhaust system and headers. The engine mounts, electric fuel pump, and wiring harness have been replaced. Work performed in January 2023 by Renaissance Motor Cars of Sarasota, Florida included changing the oil, rebuilding the carburetors, grinding the exhaust valves, and replacing the intake valves, spark plugs, head gasket, and battery.
The engine-block stamping is shown above.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission that was overhauled during the refurbishment. Rusted sheetmetal in the floors and battery area was cut out and replaced at that time. The seller notes that the car has torsion-bar shields. Additional underbody images are provided in the gallery below.
