So you not only get quality in the soft leather, but also details, like the real wood dash and center console. When you slip behind the Momo sports steering wheel, you get a true driver's feeling from the big gauges and the gear shift that feels substantial in your hand. As expected from a car of this caliber there are plenty of desirable features, including power seats, power windows, power locks, an anti-theft system, and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. Plus, R134a air conditioning keeps this luxury interior at your ideal comfort temperature even when you are having top-down fun.

By 1993, the new 4.0-liter inline-six was the engine of choice because this fuel-injected multi-valve DOHC provided this car with the most advanced and refined power plant of the series. This motor looks original in the engine bay, and shares a style with many of the legendary long Jaguar blocks before it.
