Reassembly included new front bumper seals, as well as a replacement left front turn signal and reverse light housings. The disc brake system received a new master cylinder and servo, along with new hoses and a fluid flush. Four new 205/70-series Michelin Defender tires were installed on the 15″ chrome wire wheels.The left-hand-drive cabin is trimmed in Suede Green upholstery with matching carpets. The latter were replaced, and a new handbrake ratchet was also fitted.
A new Moto-Lita 15″ wood-rimmed wheel fronts a set of factory Smiths gauges, and 86k miles are shown on the five-digit odometer. The speedometer was repaired in 2018, and the tachometer glass was removed for cleaning and reinstalled.The 4.2-liter XK inline-six is equipped with dual Stromberg carburetors and was factory-rated for 246 horsepower in US-market specification.

The carburetors were rebuilt, and the fluids were also changed.
