The restoration: Every point of interest has been fully document from start to finish. You only then can fully appreciate the 1000's of man hours which have gone into this restoration upon viewing. Every nut and bolt has been replaced on this car and a credit to the men who carried out these works.
The detail and preparation that have gone into this car include; the front brake callipers have been uprated to 4 pot Zeus callipers (the best in our opinion). Electrics now 12 volt with alternator and a high output starter motor. Enlarged radiator with Kenlowe fan to keep the 'Cat' cool in heavy traffic, twined with EZ steering make it effortless to motor along.
Built in final year of production of this series, there was more to the 3. 8 S than just an extra carburtor this was the ultimate XK built. Equipped with limited slip differential and high combustion and straight pot head.
Examples of this pedigree and attention to detail rarely become available making this a wonderful opportunity to be able to present.
