The engine is easily identified visually by the change from smooth polished cam covers to a more industrial "ribbed" appearance. It was de-tuned in the US with twin Stromberg’s and larger valve clearances. but in the UK retained triple SU’s and the much tighter valve clearances. The interior and dashboard were also redesigned; rocker switches that met US health and safety regulations were substituted for toggle switches. The dashboard switches also lost their symmetrical layout. A combination steering lock and ignition key was fitted to the steering column. which replaced the dash board mounted ignition switch and charismatic push button starter. A new steering column was fitted with a collapsible section in the event of an accident. New seats were fitted that were certainly more comfortable. Air conditioning and power steering were available as factory option. Please preview our facility to see what services we offer!
