The car is finished in red and was repainted in the 1990s. Features include a removable white soft top, side curtains, a split windshield, fog lights, bright trim, and full-width chrome bumpers with overriders. Blemishes are shown up close in the gallery.
The 16″ wire wheels are mounted with whitewall tires. A spare is stored under the trunk floor, and braking is handled by drums at each corner.

The four-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket lace-up cover and sits ahead of Smiths instrumentation consisting of a reverse-sweep 6k-rpm tachometer, a 140-mph speedometer, and an ammeter alongside gauges for oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 34k miles.
The 3.4-liter inline-six featured dual SU carburetors from the factory for a rating of 190 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque.
Engine block stamping G7793-8 and corresponding number is listed on the cylinder head as well as on the chassis plate.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
