Finished from the factory in Triumph Racing Green, the car was repainted in its current shade of green after body was removed from the frame. The trunk lid and floor were reportedly replaced at that time, and replacement bumpers and overriders were also installed. A black soft top and tonneau cover accompany the vehicle. The washers and low tone horn are inoperable, and a dent is noted on the front fascia below the grille.

Finished from the factory in Triumph Racing Green, the car was repainted in its current shade of green after body was removed from the frame. The trunk lid and floor were reportedly replaced at that time, and replacement bumpers and overriders were also installed. A black soft top and tonneau cover accompany the vehicle. The washers and low tone horn are inoperable, and a dent is noted on the front fascia below the grille.
Chrome-finished 15″ Dayton knock-off wire wheels are wrapped in 165SR15 Michelin XZX tires showing 2011 production codes. Braking is handled by front discs and rear drums. The right front brake caliper was repaired in August 2022 and additional work performed during current ownership is said to have included replacing the wheel bearings, brake lines, and suspension bushings and seals.
The cabin features front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black leather with white piping. The wood dashboard was refinished in 2006 and the headlight dip switch was replaced in August 2022. Coco mats line the floors, and three-point seat belts are fitted for the front occupants. The radio is non-functional.
A banjo-style steering wheel frames a tachometer with a 5k-rpm redline and a 120-mph speedometer, while gauges mounted centrally on the dashboard display coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperage. The steering wheel was repaired in 2006. The five-digit odometer shows 95k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added by the current owner, though true mileage is unknown. The turn signals do not self-cancel and the speedometer reads slow per the seller.
The inline-four was rebuilt in 1981 and fitted with .020″ over pistons, a stainless steel exhaust system, a polished valve cover, a Pertronix electronic ignition system, and an electric fuel pump and auxiliary cooling fan. A valve job was performed in 2016, and work in August 2022 included rebuilding the carburetors, performing a valve adjustment, replacing the spark plugs, and flushing the coolant. Compression test results taken at that time are viewable in the gallery, along with an inspection report.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos are available in the gallery below, along with receipts and photos taken during the refurbishment process.
The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate shows the original colors and options as well as a build date of April 14th, 1964.
