The body was disassembled and repainted in its original shade of cream during the 2018 refresh. A Series II hood was installed during the project in place of a Series I panel that had reportedly been fitted following tree damage in 1970. A new black soft top was also installed in 2018, matching the top color indicated on the Jaguar Heritage Trust certificate.
Chrome 15” wire wheels are secured by three-lobed knock-offs, and a damaged left-front wheel was replaced following the seller’s acquisition. Universal Sport thin-whitewall tires were then mounted all around. A spare wearing an older Semperit tire is housed in the trunk. The four removed Pirelli Cinturato CN 75 tires are included in the sale and pictured in the photo gallery below, as is the removed damaged wheel. The four-wheel disc brakes were refreshed in 2018.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather with matching upholstery over the dash, console, and door panels, along with color-keyed carpets covered by rubber floor mats. Additional features include a wood-rimmed steering wheel, shoulder belts, and a black canvas top boot. A refurbished period Blaupunkt radio was installed after the seller’s acquisition, as was a replacement antenna.
Smiths instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer, as well as a clock and gauges monitoring voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 12,500 miles, approximately 300 of which were added by the seller.
The 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six breathes through twin Stromberg carburetors and was factory rated at 246 horsepower and 263 lb-ft of torque when new. The engine was removed during the recommissioning and inspected, while the cooling and fuel systems were refurbished. The four-speed manual gearbox was inspected internally, and a new clutch was installed. Photos of the gearbox internals can be seen in the gallery below.
A portion of engine number 7R2895-9 can be seen stamped on the block above.
A new exhaust system was installed in 2018. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below.
