Description
Finished from the factory in Opalescent Light Maroon, the car was stripped to bare metal and repainted its current shade of Grigio Silverstone during the refurbishment, and the brightwork was also re-chromed at that time. Exterior details include a burgundy soft top, a black boot cover, a louvered hood, glass headlight covers, and Talbot bullet-style side mirrors. A fray on the soft top is noted by the seller.

Finished from the factory in Opalescent Light Maroon, the car was stripped to bare metal and repainted its current shade of Grigio Silverstone during the refurbishment, and the brightwork was also re-chromed at that time. Exterior details include a burgundy soft top, a black boot cover, a louvered hood, glass headlight covers, and Talbot bullet-style side mirrors. A fray on the soft top is noted by the seller.
Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-off spinners and mounted with 205/65 Delinte DH2 tires. A matching spare is found in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel discs with inboard-mounted rears, and the car rides on Koni shocks. Work during the refurbishment included rebuilding and re-plating the brake calipers and suspension components, as well as replacing the brake lines, suspension bushings, and suspension seals.
The cabin houses bucket seats that were trimmed in black from the factory but have since been reupholstered in burgundy leather that also extends to the door panels and center console. Darker red carpets line the floors, and appointments consist of a Becker Europa AM/FM radio, red lap belts, and toggle switches for vehicle functions. The pedal box and heater box were rebuilt during the refurbishment. A scratch on the driver’s door sill is shown up close in the gallery below.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, and a suite of auxiliary displays in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 11k miles, around 100 of which have been added during current ownership, though total mileage is unknown. LED bulbs have been installed in the gauge cluster. Wear is noted on the steering wheel.
The 4.2L inline-six was overbored, rebuilt, and fitted with upgraded pistons and replacement valves and guides during the refurbishment. The engine features triple SU carburetors, along with ceramic-coated headers and a stainless-steel exhaust system.
The cylinder head stamping is shown above. A photo of the engine block stamping is provided in the gallery. Both stampings match the sequences shown on the Production Record Trace certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission that was rebuilt and fitted with replacement synchros, bearings, and seals. Additional work included rebuilding the differential and installing replacement bearings and seals. Additional underside images are shown in the gallery, along with an invoice from Blackhorse Motor Sports that totals over $151k.
Photos taken prior to and during the refurbishment can be seen in the gallery, along with images of the car wearing a blue vinyl wrap that was applied for its use in a pilot episode of a TV series.
Chassis number 1E12694 is shown above, and the sequence is listed as the VIN on the title prepended with “J66.” The car is registered as Planned Non-Operation in the state of California.
