1969 Kougar Sports Mk1 - 3.8 For Sale

OVERVIEW
Built by a professional engineer in 1986/ 7 and based on the running gear from a 1969 Jaguar 3. 8 S Type saloon.
This Kougar has been no garage queen and has covered over 91, 000 miles/ 145, 600 kms, since being built.
Over the years the car has made many continental trips including most of Alpine Europe, the Mille Miglia, Le Mans Classic, Spa 6 hours, Angouleme, the Caux Retro and the Nurburgring Old Timer race. It has also been driven up the Prescott Hill Climb, around the famous Nordschleife track a number of times and competed in the Brighton Speed Trials in the late 1980's/ early 1990's also at the Corrnbury Park hill climb
This Kougar has been subject to continuous development and upgrading throughout its life and many articles detailing works done have been published in the Kougar Owners Club magazine. It was also featured in Kougar Cars Ltd sales brochure.
I purchased the car from the original builder/ owner in 2013 when he felt that the car was too fast for him (he was in his 80's!)
When I took the car over the intention was to just give it a cosmetic makeover (new paint, seats, trim etc) but somehow this morphed into a comprehensive rebuild including a full rewire, new front shock absorbers, springs, poly bushes etc, new steering rack, rebuilt 3 pot calipers, new discs + pads, new dashboard, etc, etc. The work took over a year and when completed it took 1st place in the Kougar Owners Club Concours in 2014, 2015, 2016 and again in 2018 with the Cup being presented by Rick Stevens, the original designer and owner of Kougar Cars Ltd. It was not entered in 2017 as I was abroad at the time
The current MOT has no advisories (recent MOTs had no advisories either) and it is correctly UK DVLA registered as a Kougar with historic vehicle status.

THE SPECIFICATION
• Rebuilt and upgraded Jaguar 3. 8 engine. Apart from new 9:1 pistons/ rebore/ bearings etc, it is balanced with a lightened flywheel, Kent fast road cams, big valve cylinder head (S3 XJ6), highflow water pump, and polished cam covers
• Triple 2 inch SU HD8 carburetters fed by twin facet red top fuel pumps
• Electronic ignition (S3 XJ6)
• Thermostatic oil cooler
• Custom made high efficiency aluminium radiator with a switchable Kenlowe fan
• New Stainless steel exhaust system
• 5 speed Getrag gearbox
• 3. 31 Powr-lok differential
• Jaguar S type front and rear suspension. The springs, anti roll bar and adjustable shock absorbers are re-rated due to the much lighter 980Kg weight of the Kougar vs. the 1500Kg donor S type saloon.
• Jaguar S type braking system with discs all round, XJ6 S1 calipers and a 1. 9:1 servo.
• New triple laced Jaguar 15 x 6 competition wire wheels with new 205/ 70/ 15 VR rated Blockley radial tyres.
• New aluminium turned dash with original Jaguar instruments
• Motorola steeringwheel
• As part of the rebuild, the body was completely stripped and re-sprayed. The full windscreen was replaced with a half height perspex screen. New bespoke leather seats, carpets and a double duck tonneau were made by a highly experienced trimmer.

There are various spares to go with the car including the original full windscreen, hood + frame, side screens, wiper motor + wiper assembly, bonnet etc

When people think about a fifties Jaguar, they often look at the XK’s but it were the small saloons that were vital to Jaguar. In fact, if the 3.4 and 2.4 litre ‘Mark 1’ cars had not been introduced, there may well have been no E-type, XJ6 and certainly not the Mark 2 years later. For us, the 3.4 litre (later refered ...
