No. 3466 EV Chassis No. 824959DN Engine No. VAS1272-8 This XK was purchased in 2006 from a family who had owned it since 1978, now partially restored, at the time of cataloguing, standing as a bare metal body clearly the subject of much work and appearing to be near finished, mounted on a restored chassis all on spoked wheels. Side glass fitted, no engine, gearbox, interior or trim fitted, supplied as a rolling chassis together with a pallet of chrome bumpers and over riders etc, a qty of parts inside the car and, most importantly a fully restored engine and gearbox.

Picture shows an OTS or DHC has it been converted ?
Also engine noted as a 3.4 should be a V or VS, but engine number shows a 3.8 with VAS title .
First FHC RHD with VAS title was T- 825028dn
Is there a Heritage certificate available .

Car number T825012dn had a replacement VAS engine installed at factory from a VS.
This was prior to the production line installations of VAS engines for the FHC.

Same VAS-1272 engine noted in car 825351 as noted by Peter Ingram. However this shows an 8-1 compression, Did they ever make an 8-1 VAS ?
