Description:In Brief:
On the Surface: This is a 1973 JPR Wildcat, a distinctive kit car based on the Series 1 E-Type Jaguar. This example presents itself in what appears to be Carmen Red with a classic black interior. Owned by The Vendor for the past five years, this eye-catching vehicle has an odometer reading of just 19,957 miles, believed to be accurate though cannot be verified by documentation. Maintenance & History: Unfortunately there are no maintenance or history records that come with this Wildcat, but the car has been kept as part of a private collection, suggesting careful upkeep by an enthusiast owner. The Model: Under the bonnet, this Wildcat is equipped with a 2-litre Pinto engine, a popular choice for Wildcats alongside the Rover V8. Its body, crafted from GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic), includes a tub, bonnet and doors. The chassis is a lightweight 120kg box section frame, known for its strength and durability. The JPR Wildcat was conceived as a tribute to the MK1 E-Type Jaguar but with practical modifications such as a slightly altered rear end to accommodate a broader selection of axles. Wildcats came in various configurations, including the 2-seater roadster, the 2+2, and the Le Mans coupe. Despite their popularity, Wildcats are no longer produced due to a decline in orders, making this model a rare find. Sale Insight: This particular 1973 JPR Wildcat is being sold to reduce The Vendor’s private collection. As Wildcats are no longer in production, this sale represents a rare chance to own an E-Type on a budget. |
