Seller's description:
Based on a period donor car and accordingly will have an early Fifties registration. The period parts are its automotive DNA linking it to Browns Lane and its Jaguar heritage. This car was, XBV 751 was built up from a 1952 XK120 and has a current V5 with this registration number.

With road registration and a period number you should next look to see who was involved in the build. The work on this car was carried out by some of the best in the business. The overall project was assembled by Brazell Engineering, the chassis is by Lynx, the body by Shapecraft and the engine was prepared by John Exley’s JED Engine Services.

The next requirement for the discerning buyer is FIA HTP papers. The car is inspected by the FIA to check that its build, spec and dimensions are accurate and comform with the original. This is strictly policed by the FIA and a car that is granted papers is allowed to compete in historic events alongside period cars. Even if you do not want to go racing (you should!) the rigorous independent inspection confirms the correctness of the build and will be beneficial if you come to sell the car. XBV was issued its papers in May 2018 and they are valid for 10 years.

The specification of the build is also important and this car was made to match that of the early works cars and has a 3.4 litre engine with a correct C 4820 cylinder block, sandcast H8 SU carburettors and a C Type sump. Fitted with Kent 460 cams the dyno sheets show it producing 265 bhp. Jaguar used gearboxes by Moss and this unit has been fitted with a close ratio gear-set and a C Type top cover as per the original. The rear axle casing was supplied by Gary Pearson and fitted with limited slip diff and new half shafts. For extra safety the fuel tank has been fitted with a Willans ‘fuel bladder’ that is certified for 7 years. The car is fitted with drum brakes.

In 2018 XBV 751 was successfully campaigned in no less than 16 competitive events including the VSCC Pomeroy Trophy, VSCC April Silverstone, AMOC Oulton Park and AMOC Donnington. It was the fastest C Type at Jaguar XK 70 at Shelsley, was 2nd overall in the Fiscar race at the BDC Silverstone meeting and won the Fifties Sportscar Class at the Jersey Hillclimb. There was also an invitation to take part in the Motor Racing Legends race at Silverstone but it clashed with a wedding!

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
