This particular example may be viewed as the ultimate specification for a Mark III Saloon. It has the Factory DBD engine, the optional Overdrive gearbox, front disc brakes, dual exhaust, and the late heater. The jack and hand tools are all present. The aluminum spring towers, rear trailing arm fittings, and front hubs were all replaced with the uprated and stronger Feltham Fast parts. The wheels have polished aluminum rims with painted spokes. They are probably Borrani, but the lettering on the rims has been obliterated, common when multiple polishings have been performed. The tires are Vredestein radials. When the engine was rebuilt it was fitted with an Alperform aluminum cylinder head and performance camshafts. This head looks stock but offers improved breathing, cooling, and performance, and is also a very expensive piece of kit! Other nice touches include Lucas LeMans headlamps and a pair of SLR 700 driving lamps. The original green leather bound owner’s handbook is in the cubby.
The restoration, which was completed in 2008, has worn well, with only a few thousand miles since completion. Every piece and part of the car was restored, rebuilt, refurbished, or replaced. The paintwork remains immaculate. There is only the slightest patina to the leatherwork. Restoration receipts are available. The car needs nothing and is ready to drive, tour, show, and enjoy.
