Description
Affordable 4.2 L, 5 speed, Jaguar Challenger E-Type OTS experience.
Built in 1991 from a 1974 Jaguar XJ6 series 2. Registered as a Jaguar Historic Sports. MOT and Tax exempt. The last 15 months the car has undergone major engineering works, to all systems. The aim was to provide relaxed, reliable, long distance European driving. The car has been changed from a 3 speed Automatic to 5 speed manual. With new clutch and all new associated hydraulics. Brakes now have twin master cylinders, with balanced pressure on front and back circuits. Fresh fluid & new pads all around. Front discs where already ventilated with 4 pot calipers. Inboard Rear discs now have remote, accessible, bleed nipples. Fuel system - new tank, fuel pump, pressure regulator, carbs converted to manual choke, new jets and needles, rolling road tuned. The engine already had excellent oil pressure, but its timing chains and tensioners have been replaced. Head removed, checked over and re shimmed. Various gaskets and seals were installed at this same time. Whilst the engine was out for the gearbox change, the car was completely Re Wired to modern standards of fuses and relays. However the original Jaguar colour code of wires, have been maintained throughout. At this time the engine was also fitted with a new high torque Starter motor & high output Alternator. The Mechanical water pump removed and an in line electric pump and thermostat fitted. Also now giving a "run on" facility to remove possible engine hot spots. All Hoses and Alternator belt renewed. The whole of the Front suspension has had its bushes replaced as required and tracked. 4 brand new Brockley tyres have been fitted, to the good chrome wire wheels. Just to ensure "everything" was covered, the wiper motor, wiper arms and blades have also been replaced.
Car comes with a Hard top, in the car paint colour, with a rear screen, but needs finishing. 1 year MOT'd with no advisories.
Total expenditure to give this level of reliability, was significantly more than the sale price.
