Beschreibung

Estimated Price: £20,000 - £25,000

  • Believed to be the only surviving steel-bodied prototype (#002) for the Hyper Sport Mk III by Paul Hands of Hyper Engineering
  • Originally a standard, early Sebring Red 5.3-litre XJ-S, later upgraded and bored out by Forward Engineering to a 6-litre 400bhp+ V12 with high-speed Autobahn usage in mind
  • The car was acquired by Hyper Engineering from Lister in 1987 and developed into this steel-bodied widebody example. Designed to be the template for the fibreglass widebody production models that were meant to follow but unfortunately never came to fruition
  • Features unique hand-formed steel wings, 4" wider at the rear and 3" at the front, plus the Hyper body kit, skirts, a distinctive 3-piece rear spoiler and a modification that extends the rear windows backward, further improving the sleek look
  • Later refurbished with an HE-spec leather interior (magnolia with black piping), TWR steering wheel and wider, bespoke, 3-piece split-rim wheels
  • Finished in its original Sebring Red, professionally repainted to a high standard some years ago
  • Retains its original and rare close-ratio 5-speed manual gearbox combined with Hyper mechanical enhancements including suspension and exhaust upgrades
  • Previously stored and recommissioned following the theft and insurance write off of car #001, #002 was intended to be a presentation car to Jaguar Sport
  • Supplied with a V5C, in running and driving condition with some historic documents, period photos and magazine features, but would benefit from a deep detail
  • A striking one-off prototype from the golden era of Jaguar tuning, a rightly well known car at a very reasonable pricepoint
