Jag 3.8 Vitesse
People have been tuning and modifying the Triumph Vitesse for many years. Hot Car magazine May 1969 featured a Vitesse that had a Jaguar 3.8 engine in it.
The car was said to do 130mph and to have 250bhp. It was built by the well known Downton engineering. Based on a shortened Jaguar XK150 chassis. The Triumph Vitesse body was altered to fit.
More material about this car featured on Facebook recently.
