The Hansgen Special - Front Engine View
|
In true Jaguar style, the bonnet folds forward to reveal the engine compartment. The radiator is a modern component built to the original specification. It is aluminum. The steering rack is one of the few non-Jaguar mechanical components, it is from an MG. Ignition system is a vintage Lucas set up. Suspension components were sourced from the XK 120 donor car.
