The car was factory-finished in Mist Grey and is said to have been repainted its current shade of Old English White between 2013 and 2016 by Autosmith PRS of Warwick, New York. The paintwork was buffed and polished by F40 Motorsports, and the windshield surround, bumpers, and additional pieces of brightwork have reportedly been re-chromed. The grille badge has been replaced, and features include an antenna, Lucas front fog lamps, and fender-mounted side mirrors. The removable soft top, frame, and windshield washer reservoir are missing, and the seller notes a crack on the right side of the hood as well as corrosion in the trunk.
Body-colored 16” wire wheels are secured with two-eared knock-off spinners that were recently replaced and mounted with 6.5”-wide Excelsior tires. The shock absorbers are said to have been replaced, and stopping power is provided by Dunlop four-wheel discs. Accompanying receipts for approximately $10k of work performed in 2019 by F40 Motorsports included a wheel alignment, a rebuild of the brake calipers, and the installation of a replacement master cylinder, brake fluid reservoir, sway bar bushings, tie rod ends, and brake pads.
The cabin features bucket seats that have been reupholstered in black leather with a matching dashboard top, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a padded central armrest, a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, locking glovebox, and map pockets in both doors. Tears on the passenger-side kick panel are noted by the seller, along with an inoperable clock and seam separation on the shift boot.
A four-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a black dash with a white leather-wrapped central instrument panel housing Smiths instrumentation, including a 6k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The five-digit odometer shows just under 51k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 3.4-liter inline-six was reportedly sourced from a 1958 Jaguar Mk1 and is equipped with dual SU carburetors. A top-end rebuild was reportedly performed around 2012, an electric fuel pump was added, and the exhaust system, fuel lines, and engine seals were replaced. The seller notes that the generator was rebuilt by F40 Motorsports, who also installed a replacement cold idle solenoid. An oil change was performed in May 2021, and the results of a compression test can be seen on a service record in the gallery below.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Moss four-speed manual transmission that is said to have been fitted with a replacement clutch and associated cylinders during the refurbishment. The differential is also said to have been resealed at that time, the fluid was changed in 2019, the clutch fluid reservoir was replaced by F40 Motorsports, and the transmission fluid was recently replaced with Redline MTF. Additional underbody photos are provided in the gallery below.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate lists the build date of July 15, 1958 and displays the original colors and identification numbers.
