This is a splendid tribute to classic Jaguar racecars in the form of a Kougar-bodied machine that is reported to be built entirely from Jaguar components from the XK era; being finished in British Racing Green helps to convey this English heritage. It is said to be one of approximately 200 similar machines produced over the years, making it a quite uncommon sports car. The car is further stated to have upgraded parts that could be found on the fabulous and renowned Jaguar C-Type racecar. In fact, this platform is said to be ready to accept a C-Type racecar body if the new owner should desire this conversion.

The Kougar was originally designed by Rick Stevens, founder of Kougar Cars in 1979; although the first cars (approximately 30 in number) were marketed by a company named Storcourt Wells Ltd. Mr. Stevens built the original prototype in 1976, which incorporated an all-aluminum body. All of the ensuing Kougar models were supplied with fiberglass body shells. Rick Stevens still maintains an active interest in the Kougar Owner’s Club as its president.

This particular sports car design was not directly inspired by any particular vehicle, although the styling points to influences from possibly the beautifully designed Frazer Nash TT and also the impressive Healey Silverstone. It is reported that over the years approximately 60-percent of the cars were supplied as kits, the other 40-percent were complete cars supplied by Kougar. Of these, around 20-percent were registered as new and contained all-new parts from Jaguar Cars Ltd. Some of these new vehicles were sold by H.R. Owen in London along with other distributors.

Service on this excellent example of Kougar Jaguar is up-to-date; it is on call to be driven and enjoyed by its next owner.
