The car was refinished in blue under previous ownership and features chrome bumpers with overriders, a fender-mounted driver-side mirror, hinged fender vent doors, wing windows, and dual exhaust outlets with chrome tips. Photos depicting scrapes on the driver-side door and quarter panel can be viewed in the gallery.
Chrome 16″ wire-spoke wheels secured with two-eared knock-off nuts are wrapped in Dunlop Road Speed RS5 tires, and a spare stowed beneath the trunk floor wears an older Denman tire. Rack-and-pinion steering is equipped. Braking is achieved through four-wheel discs for which the master cylinder was replaced in preparation for the sale.
The seats, dash pad, and door panels feature red leather upholstery while the floors and transmission tunnel are overlaid with faded red carpeting. Appointments include front bucket seats, latch-and-link lap belts, a passenger-side grab handle, pop-out rear quarter windows, and an Eclipse CD receiver mounted beneath the dash.
An adjustable three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel fronts a dashboard with dual gloveboxes—open on the left and locking on the right—as well as a central instrument panel housing a 140-mph Smiths speedometer and a tachometer with a 5,500-rpm redline and an inset clock. A Lucas ammeter is equipped, and additional auxiliary gauges display fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles, approximately 200 of which were driven by the selling dealer. True mileage is unknown.
The 3.4-liter DOHC inline-six is equipped with a straight-port A-type cylinder head from a contemporary 2.4-liter Mk I, larger-than-stock SU HD8 carburetors, and an aluminum radiator with an electric fan. The oil was changed in preparation for the sale.
The number V1856-8 stamped on the engine block matches the number recorded on the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate as well as that stamped on the manufacturer’s date plate, a photo of which can be viewed in the gallery along with photos showing the body number tag and the chassis stamping.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
