Finished from the factory in Carnival Red (39), the car is said to have been repainted under previous ownership, while the interior, trunk, and engine compartment, were reportedly stripped to bare metal and refinished under current ownership. Additional work involved straightening the front bumper as well as re-chroming the brightwork. Exterior details include a black vinyl convertible top and boot, chrome bumpers with overriders, Mk II-style headlight surrounds, Talbot-style mirrors, and dual exhaust outlets. The seller notes two areas of touch-up paint on the inside edge of the hood, haze in the lower-left corner of the windshield, a tear in the right-rear panel of the soft top, and evidence of a previous repair in the rear wheel wells.
Five-slot 13″ Superior alloy wheels are fitted with Sunbeam-logo center caps and are wrapped in 185/70 Kumho Solus tires. Stopping power is from front discs and rear drums. Rear traction bars have been fitted, and work performed under current ownership reportedly involved turning the rear brake drums as well as replacing the springs, tie rods, ball joints, steering u-joints, bushings, brake lines, handbrake cable, front rotors, and rear brake assemblies. The brake booster, primary cylinder, and Koni dampers were overhauled at that time.
The cabin was refurbished under current ownership and houses two bucket seats and a center console that have been reupholstered in black vinyl along with replacement door panels, kick panels, and carpets. Features include a burl wood dash panel, floor mats with Tiger script embroidery, a heater, and a Sunbeam-branded AM radio. A battery disconnect switch, additional inline fuses, and a Hurst Super Shifter 3 with a reverse lockout handle have been installed, and additional work reportedly involved reconditioning the wiring harness, trim, and cabin heater. The seller states that the weatherstripping, window tracks, horns, dash surround, pedal covers, and rearview mirror glass have been replaced. The clock does not work.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a tachometer with a 4,800-rpm redline, a 140-mph speedometer, and gauges for amperage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. A bank of auxiliary gauges is mounted below the dash on the left. Work performed under current ownership reportedly included refurbishing the steering wheel, replacing the horn ring and speedometer cable, rebuilding the speedometer, and converting the tachometer for use with electronic ignition. The seller states that the fuel gauge reads high. The five-digit odometer shows 88k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
The 260ci V8 was overhauled under current ownership, and work is said to have involved honing the cylinders as well as replacing the piston rings, bearings, crankshaft damper, fuel lines, and battery cables. The pistons were reportedly refurbished along with the cylinder heads, fuel tanks, starter, generator, and remote oil filter assembly. The following components have been installed:
Additional equipment is said to include a Griffin aluminum radiator, a Derale belt-driven fan, and a Spal 11-inch electric pusher fan.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Toploader four-speed manual transmission. The transmission and rear end were overhauled during the refurbishment, and a drive shaft safety loop has been installed. Additional work reportedly included replacing the clutch and u-joints, repairing rust around the exhaust system frame pass-throughs, and refinishing the underside.
