Stunning turn-key Aristocat.  Originally built by a Royal Navy Engineer using a very low mileage 1972 Jaguar XJ6 4.2 litre donor car with manual overdrive gearbox, it was on the road and correctly registered with the DVLA in 1984.   More recently it has been completely restored from the ground up by a retired engineer with years of experience of restoring classic cars.

The list of major works includes:  Engine rebuild with electronic ignition, manual choke, refurb twin SU Carbs, new alternator, new battery, new fuel pump, professionally tuned engine, tracker unit, serviced gearbox and overdrive.  Full panel off professionally stripped and resprayed in British Racing Green.  XK140 Burr Walnut dashboard with period switches and serviced instruments fitted. New tyres all round, with space saver spare wheel.  New wiring throughout.  New XK140 lights, fog lights, and LED indicators built into chrome rear light cluster.  New sports seats with race harness seat belts.  New carpets to interior and boot area, with under storage.  Removable new soft top, frame, and side screen windows.  New high-flow radiator and electric colling fan.  New battery and Isolator switch.  And much, much more.

Please call for more details on this beautiful example.

Turn-key Aristocat Sports.  Built over a two year period, this British Racing Green Aristocat was completed in 2017 and has covered just over 1,000 miles since.  Based on a 1982 XJ6 the car uses a 3.4 engine with twin SU carburetors and the desirable four speed manual gearbox.  It features a biscuit coloured interior and has a soft top plus steel wheels with chrome hubcaps.  A super example that can be driven away and enjoyed immediately.

Aristocat Sports model, ready to drive away and enjoy this summer!  A lovely British Racing Green example which features the rare detachable hard top with drop head screen option giving the FHC look.

Mechanically, the car is based on a galvanised chassis and uses the 4.2 engine from the 420G with triple SU carburettors.  It has recently benefited from extensive works at Autotune including the installation of an electronic ignition system, new fuel pump and a reconditioned Getrag five speed manual gearbox.  Also fitted at the time were new rear dampers.  In recent years it has also had new front springs, reconditioned brake calipers, new brake discs, etc, all fitted by Autotune.

The interior features green leather bucket seats combined with a cream leather dash, interior panels and carpets with the instruments and switchgear styled in the classic Jaguar MK2 layout.

The British Racing Green body retains its gelcoat finish, whilst the knock-on Jaguar wire wheels with the heavy bumpers from a Mk2 create the 140 FHC look.  The car also features a lovely private registration number.

The car will be supplied with a full MOT and can currently be viewed at Autotune.

Great history, extremely successful Thundersports car, multiple outright wins during the 1980s, very rare and potent 2.7 BMW M12 engine. Also ran in BRDC C2 championship.  Museum displayed for some years and therefore in need of recommissioning.
