About This Vehicle
This vehicle features a custom Jaguar green finish—an exceptionally rich and refined color far superior to the factory offering—applied with multiple layers of paint and clear coat for added depth and durability. Under the hood, a bored-out engine swap paired with a Euro-spec straight pipe exhaust brings a dramatic performance boost, producing over 200 horsepower at the wheels—more than double the original output.
Further enhancing drivability is a 1987 Toyota Supra transmission, a direct-fit upgrade that significantly improves gear engagement and overall performance while remaining easily reversible to stock if desired. These substantial modifications, expertly executed by the renowned British Motor Car in Philadelphia, reflect a well-known approach to transforming this platform into a truly capable and enjoyable driver’s car.
