Manufactured by Lancashire-based Autotune (Rishton) Ltd, the Aristocat is a highly regarded British kit car designed as a 'tribute in spirit' to the classic Jaguar XK series (XK120, XK140, and XK150)
Developed with written permission from Jaguar, it utilises the firm's mechanical components to offer 1950s styling with modern drivability, reliability, and increased cabin space
Built on a rigid steel spaceframe chassis layered with high-quality GRP body panels and unmodified Jaguar XJ running gear, making the car roughly five inches wider than an original XK120, which dramatically improves cockpit space and road handling
This striking example is finished in Gunmetal Grey complemented by 15-inch chrome wire wheels, P700 headlamps, spot lamps and chrome door mirrors for an authentic period-inspired appearance
Powered by a Jaguar 4. 2-litre fuel-injected straight-six engine, coupled to a desirable four-speed automatic gearbox and equipped with a stainless-steel exhaust and oil cooler
UK registered as URM 593X on 08/ 06/ 2015 and identified by VIN 50ROLYAT796CBT408, the car has had three former keepers and is accompanied by its V5C registration document
The history file contains a selection of invoices relating to work carried out and parts supplied over the years, with a recorded service undertaken in November 2019 at 11, 748 miles
A distinctive and usable interpretation of Jaguar's iconic XK120, combining classic 1950s styling with Jaguar's 4. 2-litre fuel-injected straight-six, automatic transmission and upgraded running gear, making for an appealing and characterful open-top grand tourer
