The car is finished in Imperial Red (582) and features a matching removable hardtop and a black soft top that was installed in 2016 with replacement hydraulic cylinders.

Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.
The 18″ two-piece alloy wheels are said to have been sourced from a Silver Arrow example, and they are mounted with a mixed set of Continental and Michelin tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with ABS.
The heated power-adjustable seats are upholstered in beige leather, and burl wood accents the doors and center stack. Amenities include a deployable roll bar, seat position memory, a Bose sound system, a heated rear hardtop window, a cassette stereo, cruise control, and automatic climate control.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, fuel economy, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 81k miles.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory-rated at 315 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission.
The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.
