Fitted with a Series 3 4.2-litre fuel-injection XK engine paired with a refurbished gearbox, supported by dual fuel tanks, a cross-over valve, and a bespoke stainless-steel exhaust system with larger tailpipes

Upgraded with a Series 3 wiring loom to operate the injection ECU, improved window switches, and a period-style DAB radio offering modern usability

Few pillarless coupés remain on UK roads today, and fewer still present in such outstanding condition
