Sellers description:

Year of construction: 1960

Colour: racing green (55 ROVHA7) Leather: suede green

Chassis: S 838058 BW

Engine: 3.8 ltr., approx. 245 hp / 162 kW with 3 carburettor system

Special features: three-phase alternator

Head: P5169 - 9 block: 6534-8

Modern disc brakes from Jaguar XJ at the front, original at the rear

5-speed Getrag gearbox

With concentrated power from 3.8 liters displacement and approx. 220 hp, Jaguar faced the German competition from Porsche and Mercedes.

The vehicle was restored from the ground up, not a single screw remained on the body or chassis. The latter was sandblasted and coated, the body was completely revised. The vehicle was completed with original parts or reproductions from specialist dealers. The gearbox was replaced with a used Getrag 5-speed gearbox. The electricity was "German" switched (+ to positive) and an alternator was installed.

The brakes are from the later, modern Jaguar model, 15" belted tires were mounted on 15" spoked rims (brand: Daytona). The interior was made in England, the soft top (fabric: Sonnenland) in Göttingen.

Only original parts or reproductions from specialist shops are processed

Original vehicle - not modernized - except 5-speed gearbox, disc brakes with brake booster, alternator

15 inch rims with belted tires, spare wheel as an emergency wheel!

collector's item

Special equipment: 5-speed Getrag gearbox / speedometer not calibrated

Chassis powder-coated, screw and chassis parts cad-plated

Vehicle still has to be run in / 1000 km inspection mandatory - can only be done free of charge after delivery in Göttingen

TÜV full acceptance, as well as H-certificate were carried out

The vehicle thus meets the requirements for approval with an H license plate

Lump sum vehicle tax 192.00 € p. a.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
