Sellers description:
Year of construction: 1960
Colour: racing green (55 ROVHA7) Leather: suede green
Chassis: S 838058 BW
Engine: 3.8 ltr., approx. 245 hp / 162 kW with 3 carburettor system
Special features: three-phase alternator
Head: P5169 - 9 block: 6534-8
Modern disc brakes from Jaguar XJ at the front, original at the rear
5-speed Getrag gearbox
With concentrated power from 3.8 liters displacement and approx. 220 hp, Jaguar faced the German competition from Porsche and Mercedes.
The vehicle was restored from the ground up, not a single screw remained on the body or chassis. The latter was sandblasted and coated, the body was completely revised. The vehicle was completed with original parts or reproductions from specialist dealers. The gearbox was replaced with a used Getrag 5-speed gearbox. The electricity was "German" switched (+ to positive) and an alternator was installed.
The brakes are from the later, modern Jaguar model, 15" belted tires were mounted on 15" spoked rims (brand: Daytona). The interior was made in England, the soft top (fabric: Sonnenland) in Göttingen.
Only original parts or reproductions from specialist shops are processed
Original vehicle - not modernized - except 5-speed gearbox, disc brakes with brake booster, alternator
15 inch rims with belted tires, spare wheel as an emergency wheel!
collector's item
Special equipment: 5-speed Getrag gearbox / speedometer not calibrated
Chassis powder-coated, screw and chassis parts cad-plated
