Jaguar XJ13 by Tempero

Описание: Check out our video on this very exciting Jaguar XJ13 by Tempero.

The name Tempero is very well known in the coach building world, going back to 1946 when Alan Tempero started his business in Oamaru, New Zealand. Today the business is run by Rod Tempero who learned the trade working for his father Errol Tempero. They have built magnificent recreations of some of the most iconic cars of the 1950’s and 1960’s, including the Jaguar C-Type, Jaguar D-Type, Jaguar XJ13, Aston Martin DBR2, Ferrari 250 GTO and Maserati A6GCS just to name a few.

It is understood that Tempero built six XJ13’s in the 1990’s. Four were sold in the USA, one in New Zealand and one in Australia.

This very small production run was built based on original factory drawings. Tempero went to great lengths to reproduce the lines, methods and materials of the original construction. The aluminium body was built on an aluminium monocoque as specified and to original specifications, such as the weight and dimensions. It features the modified E-type front suspension of the original and mirrors the mounting system for the dry sump Jaguar V12 engine. The curvaceous windscreen is made from the original Triplex mould.

This car is the 4th XJ13 built by Tempero and it is the only one delivered new to Australia. It is unique and without a doubt the most significant of the six cars built. It is powered by a TWR Group C V12 engine of engine 7.0 litres capacity, estimated to generate some 600hp!
