| Extra Information | |||
| Other comments | The Aristocat Sports uses XJ (XJ6, XJS, XJ12) series suspension, resulting in the vehicle being five inches wider then the XK120 or XK140, and one inch wider than the XK150. The Aristocat Coupe, manufactured since 1991, is a dimensionally exact replica of the XK140 Coupe, using XJ6 or XJS components. Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear. Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted. We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
