The body was factory-finished in Opalescent Dark Green and was repainted in black during the refurbishment. Features include wraparound chrome bumpers with overriders along with headlight covers, a louvered clamshell hood, and dual center-exit exhaust outlets. The black fabric soft top is said to have been patterned on the original and is fitted over a rebuilt and repainted frame. The seller notes pitting in the chrome on the rear taillight surrounds.
Replacement 15″ chrome curly-hub wire wheels secured with branded two-eared knock-offs are wrapped in 185-series Michelin X redline radial tires, and a spare is stowed beneath the trunk floor. The seller notes that the fully independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes were refreshed during the refurbishment.
The reupholstered cockpit features buckets seats trimmed in beige leather along with color-coordinated carpeting. Amenities include an adjustable steering column, an open glove compartment, a passenger-side grab handle, a padded center armrest, a push-button Blaupunkt AM/FM radio, and replacement lap belts and sun visors. Replacement trunk linings were made and installed.
A refurbished wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a 160-mph Smiths speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer as well as centrally situated gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and amperage. The five-digit odometer was replaced in 1970 and shows 6k miles, approximately 100 of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.
The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with triple SU carburetors and a replacement stainless-steel exhaust system with polished center-exit tailpipes. The radiator and hoses were replaced during the refurbishment, and an aftermarket six-blade fan replaces the operational stock two-blade fan that is included in the sale. The seller notes that the carburetors were tuned in May 2022.
The cylinder head stamping 7E 11992-9 shown above matches the engine number recorded on the Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate. Photos of the frame stampings and the chassis plate are provided in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.
