The car was originally finished in bronze, and work during the refurbishment is said to include mounting the body on a rotisserie, media blasting, an application of epoxy coating on the tub, replacing the windshield and door glass, powder-coating the soft top bows, and refinishing the body in black with Glasurit paint. Additional work included replacement of the deck lid, adjusting body panels, and refinishing the chrome. Exterior details include a removable body-color hardtop, chrome bumpers and trim, glass headlight covers, welded hood louvers, and dual central exhaust outlets. The black soft top is stowed under a matching boot, and close-up photos of both items are provided in the gallery below.
Chrome-finished 15″ Dayton wire wheels were installed during the refurbishment, and they are secured with two-eared knockoffs and mounted with 6.40-15 Firestone whitewall tires. Additional work included fitting Koni shocks and polyurethane bushings along with re-sleeving the wheel cylinders and the replacement of the wheel bearings, universal joints, and rear springs. The calipers were re-plated and the hardware was powder coated, and the brake pads, rotors, lines, and hoses were also replaced. The seller notes that brass sleeves were installed in the hydraulic cylinders, and the independent rear suspension was disassembled and refurbished.
The cockpit features low-back bucket seats that were re-trimmed in black leather, along with color-coordinated door panels and carpets. During the refurbishment the seat frames were powder coated and the tracks were cadmium plated, and replacement textured aluminum trim was installed on the dashboard and center console. Additional equipment includes a replacement heater/defroster and Jaguar-branded rubber floor mats.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges mounted in the center stack. The steering wheel, gauges, cluster lights, and wiring were refurbished during current ownership. The five-digit odometer shows 41k miles, though total mileage is unknown.
The rebuilt 3.8-liter inline-six is equipped with polished triple SU side-draft carburetors, and the seller states a tune-up and carburetor adjustment was performed in preparation for the sale. Work during the refurbishment is said to include disassembly and rebuilding the motor, with replacement of the following components:
Cylinder head stamping R3245-9 matches the engine number listed on the chassis plate and Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission that the seller states was installed during the refurbishment, and the clutch components were replaced. Additional work is said to include an overhaul of the fuel system with a replacement pump, a powder-coated and re-sealed fuel tank, and re-plated hardware. The floors were also replaced during the refurbishment, and the stainless-steel exhaust system that is depicted above was installed. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery below.
Photos showing various stages of the refurbishment are provided in the gallery below.
