Kougar Page
Updated Aug. 99
This car
was built with the 4.2L engine that was common in the large saloon cars.
The transmission is the four speed with an electric overdrive unit. With
the car weighing in at under 2000 lbs., this combination makes for fast,
smooth, exits out of corners. The plans for this unusual car is to go vintage
racing. The fuel cell and safety harnesses are in place. The suspension
has been refurbished with adjustable, pre load and dampening, shocks. I've
found that I can order a Chrome rollover bar directly from Kougar Motor
Cars. I'm also looking for some wheels that are more suitable for racing.
These
photos of my car were taken at "Day on the Village Green 1997" sponsored
by The Reno, Nevada Jaguar club and the Jaguar Club of North America. The
Kougar took "Directors Choice Award" and "Best in Class" in the competition
class. The put the Kougar in the competition class because it didn't fit
into any of their classifications, so when I said I had plans to vintage
race the car that was all they needed.
Last year (1998) I was
unable to take the Kougar to "Day on the Village Green". My father went
to the event but didn't take the car. wouldn't you know it, that was the
only time another Kougar showed up. Green in color, right hand drive,
from northern california. if this is your car please E-mail me. I have
the information that you were looking for.
At the 1999 "Day on the
Village Green" I looked at the rules a little closer and found the J.C.N.A
has a class for "Replicas and Jaguar based cars". The turn out this year
was much smaller that in past years, and the cars just don't look as good
indoors without the sun and grass, but it was still a fun event.
