1957 Jaguar ''XKD'' 4.2L Rod Tempero Continuation NZ - Bespoke Hand Made Aluminium Body - 4.2L Triple Webers - RHD - Classic Registerable

We are extremely proud and honoured to offer you this very special opportunity in securing one of the most significant ''tribute'' race/classic cars of our time. This is as close as you can get to owning one of the ''Le Mans winning Jaguar D-Type's'' brilliant and correct, an exceptional and faithful hand made aluminium bodied Jaguar XKD 1957 'continuation' by Tempero NZ, arguably the finest constructor of this series in the world. 

 

This example finished in stunning BRG over polished aluminium lower body is powered by her 4.2L 6 cyl Jaguar engine with 3 x 45mm Weber Carburettor's mated with her manual 4 speed + overdrive gearbox. Brilliant handling and setup, with all the thrills and emotion of racing in 1957... but without the multi-million pound sterling price tag/insurance issues. 

 

Green leather seats and console coverings, with removable carpets if you want that extra luxury feel or outright racer. Passenger side aerodynamic body panel cover removes simply, with passenger windshield also fully removable when traveling solo. Correct Dunlop styled 'knock-off' wheels with spare tucked neatly away in the rear compartment. 

 

Smiths instrumentation, authentically represented in miles (not km). Hardened valve inserts allows it to run unleaded fuel and side exit exhausts. Leather bonnet straps. New brakes and clutch to ensure asbestos free, this car is fully sorted and a sensational driving experience. The huge bonus being she qualifies for heritage/club registration as she is currently on Vic heritage plates. 

 

You won't find a car like this anywhere in Australia. Limited numbers constructed with most residing in American, European/UK collections. Replacement cars now virtually impossible to import into Australia. Jaguar Tempero XKDs represent coach building craftsmanship at its finest. This car is here in Australia and ready to be enjoyed by her next custodian with all paperwork and documentation in order. 

 

Has been well cared for by the previous classic car collector for last 10+ years, driven sparingly, not raced but setup to be enjoyed at the best vintage racing and club events. A compelling acquisition for the discerning collector or classic car enthusiast. 

 

With factory cars selling for over US$20m there is simply no better nor more thrilling driving experience at this level, and will continue to appeal to generations to come especially they way Jaguar have ended up.

 

In total 87 D-Types were made, which included 16 of the XKSS road-going derivatives. This Tempero XKD continuation is one of the most collectable re-creation on the global race car tribute/continuation market being hand built to the highest exact standards you could find anywhere in the world. As the actual factory cars are so valuable, tributes have started to make north due to the value of the real cars. 

 

Appropriately finished in the period correct BRG over aluminium as per the works team colours with period finished cabin sitting on her period Dunlop pegged alloy wheels with knock-offs and Dunlop racing tyres, this car is a wonderful link to the glory days of 1950s sports car racing. 

 

Since most original D-Types are within long-term ownership and rarely come to market, this car offers the opportunity to experience the legendary D-Type either on the road or race track of your choice at a ridiculous value price point.
