The body was previously finished in white and wears faded red paint covered with clear coat. Esso livery and hand-painted roundels were added under previous ownership, and additional features include rear bumperettes, leather trunk tie-downs, a flip-up fuel filler, a Talbot-style mirror, and riveted replacement sheet metal to cover the rear passenger area. Brooklands-style windscreens are included in the sale along with a black tonneau cover and top bows. A dent in the right quarter panel was repaired in 2012, and replacement sheet metal was added on the passenger-side lower door sill by Reilly & Company of Sonoma, California, in June 2022. The hood has been cut to accommodate the quad-carburetor setup, and the horn and turn signals do not work. The grille insert is missing.
The black-painted 15×6″ 72-spoke Dayton wire wheels feature chrome knock-off hubs and are mounted with 205/65 Goodyear Eagle GT tires showing 2012 and 2013 date codes. New rear leaf springs were installed in January 2021. Stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums. A Subaru-sourced dual-circuit brake master cylinder with adjustable brake bias was fitted by Genoa Racing of Novato, California, in January 2012.
The cockpit features bucket seats trimmed in black upholstery with red piping. Equipment includes lap belts, a wood shift knob, a removable fiberglass transmission tunnel, black Austin-Healey-branded floor mats, a fire extinguisher, and a custom dead pedal. The rear seats were removed under previous ownership, and an aluminum panel was added to allow access to the rear end. The interior door release mechanisms have been removed.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation including a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, approximately 14k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown. The auxiliary gauge lights do not work.
The 302ci Ford V8 was fitted under previous ownership and features quad SU carburetors on a custom mount atop an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. MSD electronic ignition and a Mallory distributor are also installed. A Griffin aluminum radiator with an electric fan was added in January 2018. Replacement spark plugs were fitted in June 2022 along with a new distributor cap and rotor.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a T-5 five-speed manual transmission, and the clutch slave cylinder was rebuilt in June 2022. The exhaust system features dual Flowmaster mufflers. Corrosion is visible on the frame outriggers and where paint has chipped off of the frame.
