Description
(SOLD) The body is all aluminum and was constructed to specifications in England by Dunford. The engine and transmission work was done by highly skilled craftsmen at Gran Turismo Jaguar, including dynamometer testing and tuning. This D-type could be said to be a ‘re-bodied e-type’. The donor car is a 1965 Jaguar XKE FHC with Heritage Certificate of authenticity and its title to document this. Also, there are photographs documenting this original car before it was disassembled and receipts and photographs to document what was done. This vehicle should be eligible for vintage racing because it is a 1965 Jaguar. The vehicle is very fast, great looking, and ready for competitive driving and showing.
