Hi Folks,

The Sports Car Factory and Race Car Replicas have teamed up on the SCF XJ13. Does this sound as if it was inevitable? Fran and I have reached an arrangement whereby RCR will be fabricating much of the SCF XJ13 packages. This aspect of the SCF XJ13 was hard to let go of, but after meeting Fran and touring his operation in Michigan, it is a good fit!

Much of SCF’s continued development of the SCF XJ13 will be picked-up by RCR and supplemented with various RCR innovations. Fran and I have been working closely on adapting the SCF XJ13 to the RCR methodology and platform. Not surprisingly, the methodology and platforms are very similar and only small adaptations are actually needed.

Part of RCR’s value to SCF is in the incredible efficiency RCR has to offer. Not only does RCR fabricate efficient parts in quantity, but the entire fabrication process is geared toward high quality and efficiency (this topic can actually be spun off into another whole writing, but I’ll stick to the main announcement for now). On top of it all, RCR has a crew that is skilled in assembling these fine replicas. The end result is a more complete SCF XJ13 package that can be delivered in a shorter period of time.

The Sports Car Factory still owns the molds, tooling, and various intellectual rights for the SCF XJ13, and will continue to be the primary marketing and sales channel for this fine replica!

The next SCF XJ13 unit is under way (with more behind it) at RCR and is destined for the UK. TWR Replicas will be finishing this unit as a turn-key for a customer.

You are now starting to see more of me as I emerge from shop operations and spend more time in the office. If there are any questions, please feel free to call or e-mail.

Kind Regards,
Rich Dommers
