Equipment
Centerlock wire wheels, Silvertown blackwalls, dual wing mirrors, Lucas driving lights, black cloth boot cover.
Condition
Very good paint and bumpers. The wheels could use a cleaning. The rubber around the mirrors is dry and cracking. Two small paint blemishes behind the passenger's door. Lightly worn but attractive interior. An honest, lightly aged old restoration that's still good enough that you could be proud to be seen in it. Fitted with a base 3.4-liter engine from new but now has lots of extra punch from a 3.8-liter XK six.
Market commentary
Even though it has a non-original engine, the swap arguably makes it a better car and this car is too good for the reported high bid regardless.
