Originally finished in Cream, the car is said to have been repainted in its current shade of red more than 30 years ago. The edge of the left door was repainted in June 2017 to address chips, and dents were removed from that door in September 2020. Features include a black convertible top with a matching boot cover, center exhaust exits, side mirrors, and chrome bumpers and trim.
Chrome-finished knock-off 15″ wire wheels are mounted with Vredestein Sprint Classic tires. The brake master cylinder was replaced and the calipers were rebuilt by Goldline Brakes in 2016.
The cockpit features bucket seats upholstered in black leather with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Features include polished trim, a Panasonic AM radio, rubber floor mats, and a center console.
A wood-rimmed steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with an inset clock, and auxiliary gauges mounted atop the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 50k miles, approximately 8k of which were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown, and the speedometer and tachometer were repaired in June 2017.
The 4.2L inline-six breathes through triple SU carburetors and dual three-into-one exhaust headers. The radiator was rebuilt by Greenwood Radiator Service in 2016. Ignition points, rotor, and distributor cap were replaced in April 2018. The oil was changed in September 2020, and the header seals were replaced in May 2021. The selling dealer notes an oil leak emanating from the engine.
The stamping on the cylinder head (7E12712-9) mirrors the serial number on the engine block, which is pictured in the gallery. The sequence matches the number on the identification plate as well as the JHT certificate.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The fuel tank and sending unit were replaced in April 2018.
The Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate shown in the gallery lists the original March 1967 manufacture date, trim and paint colors, and serial numbers. A separate page from a Jaguar archivist elaborates on the matter of the body number.
