The car was repainted in the MG hue of Iris Blue subsequent to rust repair that included replacing the A- and B-pillars, the inner and outer rocker panels, and sections of the front and rear windshield surrounds that required fabrication. The frame was powder-coated satin black. Features include chrome bumpers with overriders as well as fender-mounted mirrors, chrome hood vents, and Twin Cam badging on the decklid and hood.

The car was repainted in the MG hue of Iris Blue subsequent to rust repair that included replacing the A- and B-pillars, the inner and outer rocker panels, and sections of the front and rear windshield surrounds that required fabrication. The frame was powder-coated satin black. Features include chrome bumpers with overriders as well as fender-mounted mirrors, chrome hood vents, and Twin Cam badging on the decklid and hood.
Dunlop 15″ wheels secured by chrome two-eared knock-off nuts are finished in silver and wrapped in Vredestein Sprint Classic tires that were rotated in preparation for the sale. The car features a rack-and-pinion steering system, and braking is from Dunlop discs all around. The brake calipers and master cylinders were rebuilt during the refurbishment, and the rear brake pads were replaced in August 2022.
The cabin features bucket seats trimmed in navy blue leather as well as a navy blue dash rail and door panels. Appointments include a dash-mounted rearview mirror, a windscreen washer, a heater/defroster, a wood shifter knob, an upholstered center armrest, lap belts, a dash-mounted map light, and lighter blue carpeting.
The wood-rimmed polished-alloy steering wheel is mounted on an adjustable column and fronts a blue dashboard housing Jaeger instrumentation consisting of a refurbished 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 11k miles, which are said to represent the amount driven since completion of the refurbishment. Total mileage is unknown.
The rebuilt 1,588cc B-series inline-four was factory-rated at 108 horsepower and 104 lb-ft of torque and features chain-driven double overhead camshafts, an alloy cylinder head, 8.3:1-compression pistons, dual SU H6 semi-downdraft carburetors, aluminum valve covers, and a replacement wiring harness. Valve clearances were checked in 2014, a carburetor service was performed in 2015, and a single 12-volt battery replaced the dual six-volt units in 2017. Service in August 2022 including torquing the cylinder head and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox and a 4.30:1 final-drive gearset. Service in preparation for the sale included replacing the differential carrier gasket and the pinion and axle shaft seals.
