Very rare chance to buy a nearly full kit for an Autotune Aristocat - based on the Jaguar XK150 sports car from the 1950's.
Autotune in Rishton Lancashire started making these in 1983 and gained Jaguar approval for their recreation. Designed to be built with a donor XJ6 they used to be affordable, but the XJ6 is now a classic car and not a scrap heap item.
The kit was bought from Autotune as a project for me, but now I have other priorities. Finished cars fetch £10-20k. I think altogether there is 90% of what is needed. I am potentially able to offer a rebuilt and refurbished set of twin SU carbs also.
Kit is listed as containing the following - a full Autotune build manual is included. Everything from the kit is substantial and well engineered,
1. Galvanised space frame chassis
2. Body, boot, bonnet and doors in black gelcoat - will need finishing as to your spec
3. 15 boxes of XJ6 donor parts
4. Jaguar rear subframe and axle / inboard brakes - will need refurbishment
5. Front axle / suspension
6. New dampers and coil springs
7. Wiring loom
8. Period style lighting
9. Bespoke fuel tank
10. XJ6 dials
11. 4.2 XK engine ( this is on sale as another listing and may sell ) will need refurbishment
12. XJ6 3-Speed automatic gearbox and torque converter ( this is on sale as another listing and may sell ) will need refurbishment
13. 4 x slave wheels for the build - will need refurbishment
14. A full set of internal aluminium panels for the inside structure + rivets and bolts
15. Seats and spare leather ( this is on sale as another listing and may sell )
16. Front brakes - will need refurbishment.
Possible 1 tonne engine crane and 1 tonne 4 wheel trolley included at the asking price.
Happy to answer any questions. The kit and parts will need a suitable lorry / low loader and 2-3 people to load. Possibility of 2 trips needed, but kit can be broken down into parts. Will need a wind screen and wet weather gear / hood.
This represents a unique opportunity for someone with the time and workshop space to build a ground up and new Jaguar based kit car. The Jaguar Drivers Club recognise the Aristocat as a legitimate car.
