Information
Submitted to John and Gary Pearson for a full restoration, with particular attention to preserving the chassis sub-frames (which were deemed to be original). Because the rear clip and the top surface of the front bonnet had been battered and stress-hardened during years of use, these sections were removed and replaced with new ones pounded on the original body bucks. The opportunity was also taken to install a new rear tailfin, and the restored coachwork was treated to a bare-metal refinish in British Racing Green. Later on, Nicolas Cage commissioned Lynx Engineering to conduct a freshening of the engine while retaining Jaguar expert Jon Pollack to install new exhaust headers.
