Beschreibung
Although, not an original 'Knobbly' Lister-Jaguar, this is an extremely faithful recreation. Belived to be built in the mid-1980s by New Zealander Ray Larsen, who is a world renowned coach builder and engineer, famous for building successful racing Jaguars.
The freshly built engine by Jim Stokes is a 3. 8-litre XK unit producing 360bhp and carries a bespoke inlet manifold complete with water rail, pressure gauge and triple 45DCOE Weber carburettors. Canted over by 8°, the unit also employs a D-Type style dry-sump lubrication system and gas flowed 36" exhaust system. Mated to a D-Type style bell-housing with backward facing starter motor and small circumference clutch, it feeds its considerable power to a Salisbury differential via a Moss close-ratio gearbox that is topped by an XK short lid. Around £179, 000 (fully documented) has been spent from 2010 to 2015 mainly at Jim Stokes in order to produce a competitive and excellent handling example that has such charm and patina that it could have just raced at Goodwood in the 1950s. Supplied with comprehensive history file and UK v5 document.
