Finished from the factory in Colorado Red, the car was repainted dark green under previous ownership. Exterior details include a black soft top and boot cover, chrome bumpers with overriders, and a luggage rack fitted to the rear decklid. Areas of paint bubbling are present around the antenna.
The 15″ wire wheels are secured by knock-off spinners and mounted with 165/80 Nankang CX668 tires. A matching spare is found in the trunk. Braking is via front discs and rear drums. The brake booster, master cylinder, lines, and wheel hubs were replaced in 2014.
The cockpit houses seats trimmed in black upholstery with white piping, as well as color-keyed door panels and carpets. Features include a Nisonger AM/FM radio, a wood shift knob, and a dash-mounted rearview mirror. The factory-optional heater was replaced with a modern unit under previous ownership.
A banjo-style steering wheel sits ahead of burled wood dash panels housing Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary displays. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 59k miles, around 300 of which have been added by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.
The 2.9-liter inline-six was rebuilt in March 2006, while the four-speed manual transmission was rebuilt and fitted with a replacement clutch by Charlie’s British Cars of Tampa, Florida in February 2014. The head gasket was replaced in 2014, at which time a mild camshaft, modified cam followers, racing chain tensioners, and a competition timing chain were installed. An electronic distributor and six-blade cooling fan were also added the following month. The dual SU carburetors were rebuilt in 2018.
