Delivered new in British Racing Green, the body was refinished during the refurbishment completed by Old English Cars of Mills River, North Carolina. Features include a vented hood, recessed headlights, taillights mounted over the rear bumpers, and split chrome bumpers with guards.
Chrome 15” Dayton wire wheels were sourced by the selling dealer from Moss Motors and wear Vredestein Sprint Classic radial tires. A full-size spare fitted with an older Pirelli tire is stored in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with the rear units situated inboard, and the seller notes the system was overhauled during the refurbishment along with overhauls of the front and rear independent suspension.
Brown leather upholstery and trim are fitted in place of the factory beige trim and accompanied by matching treatments on the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Toggle switches line the center of the dashboard, and additional equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, a cabin heater, and an adjustable rearview mirror.
Smiths instrumentation consists a 160-mph speedometer and a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset analog clock, along with auxiliary gauges housed within the center of the dashboard. The five-digit odometer shows 42k miles.
The twin-cam 4.2L inline-six features a trio of SU carburetors and was factory rated at 265 horsepower and 283 lb-ft of torque. An oil change and general inspection were completed in preparation for the sale along with the installation of an aluminum radiator.
Engine-block stamping 7E128487-9 matches the cylinder-head stamping shown in the gallery and corresponds to the engine number noted on the chassis identification plate and the included Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. Additional photos showing the suspension, chassis, and driveline, as well as corrosion on portions of the underside are presented in the gallery below.
