JL20551
BRG with red interior, which looks like the original color combination. Wire wheel car with some very neat period modifications- louvered bonnet with leather strap; subtle red pinstriping; red brake drums; British flag on right front wing; 7 1/4" tri-bars; a pair of xk140 style fog lights with aux. switch; pair of 7" spot lights with aux switch; racing style fuel filler; rally clock mounted to dash. Must have been a serious rally car back in its day! Car came to Louisiana from
Indiana many years ago.
Other than the modifications, which I suspect were made 45 years ago, the car is/was in very nice, original condition. Paint of course not perfect, but great patina on seats, chrome and wood. Unfortunately, it now has a moderate coat of mud and grunge on top of the nice patina. Cannot imagine that the generator can power all of those lights; however, normally one would only use the h/l and driving lights at the same time, with the fogs only burning by themselves.
