Auction description:
Sale 16508 - Les Grandes Marques à Monaco, 10 May 2008
Monaco
Lot No: 144
The first example produced
1967 Jaguar XKSS 3.8-Litre Replica by Lynx
Chassis no. 1E1944
Engine no. L773
Like many other legendary sportscars, the Jaguar XKSS inspired a number of imitations. An acknowledged master in this highly specialised field is the Sussex-based firm of Lynx Engineering, which enjoys an international reputation for accuracy and quality second to none. The car we offer is the very first Jaguar XKSS manufactured by Lynx and is one of an exclusive series of only nine such replicas made by them. Its history is known from new; indeed, it served as Lynx co-founder Chris Keith-Lucas’s wedding car! Of riveted aluminium sheet, the coachwork conforms to the original method of construction. Unlike the original, the Lynx XKSS is powered by a larger, 3.8-litre XK six fitted with triple Weber induction and a stainless-steel sports exhaust system. Completely overhauled, the car features competition wheels and a nicely patinated leather interior, and is presented in perfect working order. Offering breathtaking performance with classic Jaguar style, the car comes with valid French Carte Grise and Contrôle Technique.

Like many other legendary sports cars, the Jaguar XK SS inspired a number of imitations. An acknowledged master in this highly specialised field is the Sussex-based firm of Lynx Engineering, which enjoys an international reputation for accuracy and quality second to none. The car we offer is the third chassis manufactured by Lynx and the first of the exclusive series of only nine such replicas built to Jaguar XK SS specification (see email correspondence on file from Lynx and the company's co-founder Chris Keith-Lucas). Its history is known from new; indeed, this XK SS served as Chris Keith-Lucas's wedding car!

Built in the late 1980s, this XK SS takes its identity from a 1967 Jaguar E-Type, chassis number '1E1944', which was registered in the UK as 'PEH 670F'. Of riveted aluminium sheet, the coachwork conforms to the original method of construction. Unlike the original, however, the Lynx XK SS is powered by a larger, 3.8-litre XK six fitted with triple-Weber induction and a stainless-steel sports exhaust system. (Its original engine was a 4.2-litre XK unit taken from a Series 1½ E-Type.) Finished in British Racing Green, the car also features competition wheels and a nicely patinated black leather interior.

Previously owned by Roland Urban, founder of the French Jaguar Drivers' Club, the XK SS was completely overhauled in the early/mid-2000s and was purchased by the current vendor in 2008. In 2009 the engine was overhauled by Paris-based Cecil Cars, while earlier this year the car received new tyres and the carburetion system was overhauled as part of a general check over (see invoice on file for €4,617 from Prestige Garage in Vence, South of France). Offering breathtaking performance with classic Jaguar style, this beautifully executed XK SS re-creation comes with valid French Carte Grise.

Please note that Frank Berger, CEO of Lynx Motors engineering has confirmed that the car started life as number 3 short nose D Type built by LYNX in 1977. The car was then converted by LYNX into a LYNX XKSS in the 80s. Being the first Lynx XKSS built, it is the Lynx XKSS prototype and according to Frank Berger, one of the most important LYNX ever built (email on file). One of 15 cars built, Lynx motors engineering limited will be happy to issue a certificate to the successful bidder.
