Finished from the factory in Ascot Fawn, the car was dissembled, mounted to a rotisserie, stripped to bare metal, and repainted red during the aforementioned refurbishment, following the completion of body repairs. Exterior details include a black soft top, a louvered forward-hinged hood, dual side mirrors, chrome bumpers with overriders, and twin polished exhaust outlets. The seller states paint correction has been performed on the left-front fender while the battery tray, driver-side floor, and the area beneath the fuel filter assembly have been partially repainted to rectify damage from fluid leaks.
Chrome-finished 15″ wire wheels are secured with knock-off spinners and are mounted with 205/70 Hankook Kinergy PT tires that show 2020 production date codes. A spare wheel fitted with a 135-series Michelin tire is stored in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The brake master cylinder is stated to have been replaced in March 2023 per the seller.
The cockpit features bucket seats upholstered in black leather and fitted with lap belts. Additional appointments include manual-crank windows, a heater, a leather shift knob, Jaguar-branded floor mats, an analog clock, and a push-button radio.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer, while supplemental gauges are housed in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 14k miles, approximately 1k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 4.2-liter inline-six is equipped with dual Zenith-Stromberg carburetors. The valve cover gaskets were replaced in March 2023, while the fuel filter assembly was replaced in June 2023, per the seller.
Block stamping 7R100529 is listed on the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate as the engine number.
