Thanks for posting those pics. Excellent. Someone spent a lot of time with the polish.

Does anyone know if the XJ13 will be at Peeble Beach Concours de Eleganc in August this year? Or any ideas where one might go to find out?

Thanks Neville. My inquiry is winging its way over the internet at this very moment.

I've been at it again ....

Posted some new stuff about the drive to the quad cams as well as what I consider to be the real reasons the XJ13 never raced - including a picture of a drawing of what could have been Malcolm Sayer's proposed 3 litre XJ13 replacement.

Went down to my nieces wedding in the West Country, so took a chance to pop into the Haynes motor museum.

Nick,
What are the details of the car in the photo? Is it a replica? If that is the original, seems odd it would have modular five bolt wheels on it.

Hi,

It is a replica but funnily no details of the make which is strange as the GT 40 replica displayed had a card showing it was a Dax. I should have asked I will try to find out.

Looks very much like one of Jim Marland's Proteus replicas to me? :undecided:

Tell Becky we are glad she got married. Otherwise we might not have gotten to see those great pics. Very nice replica.

Chuck,

Thanks I will pass it on, it was a great day and with all the rubbish going on in the world it was good to be reminded how awesome it is to see two people truly in love.

Never got a response. Guess staff is out on summer holiday.

Very disappointing ... you can forward me your email if you want and I will make sure it ends up under the nose of the person who can answer your query.

That would be an RCR XJ13 then...

 

[René]

Fran, you make the world look better with all those different replica's you had/have a hand in.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Check out the pictures on the TWR website and you will see the car being fabricated in my shop...we have done all the SCF cars bar one...and all the tooling is now with RCR.

I have two here now and they are cracking looking cars..
