Paolo, The engine bay is fully mapped out for the Jag V-12. Motor mounts and adapter package (plate, flywheel and pilot bearing housing) support the V12 HE with the TH400 bolt pattern mated to a Porsche G50 box. Other engines are possible though not mapped. To date customers have opted to...

Thanks again. I look forward to sending more 13s into the world. If not a GT40 then . . . well maybe one of each?

Brett, Thanks! After all the time and effort on this I think I'll take the compliment :)

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...

Thanks Lynn! Make sure you call me before booking a flight, as I will soon have a new, but familiar location, for you to visit the SCF XJ13. More to come on that positive change soon . . . Rich

It’s been a bit of time since I’ve posted here, but hey . . . I was working on something good! Attached are photos of the SCF XJ13, built at The Sports Car Factory in Frederick, MD, USA. I had personally vowed to maintain the high level of quality Denis set for this fine replica, and I’m...

Ron & Neal, Thanks for the replies. I have had a significant amount of experience registering classics, even heavily modified ones. My home state of MD allows for easy registration of such vehicles under the “Historic” or “Modified Street Rod” categories, but with annual mileage limitations...

Here is the photo

Here is another photo of Denis' work of engineering art. This car cannot take a bad photo at all! The body chassis units will be in production in the near future.

I’m interested in hearing of the experiences folks have had with registering kit/custom cars, especially those that were built using a fabricated chassis rather than a donor chassis. A few questions: o What state did you register your car? o How easy/difficult was it? o What did the...

Hi Craig, I had the pleasure to take a close look at this car a few months ago. It is superb! I took a few photos, so if you wish to have more for your collection, just let me know.

Hi Victor, I off loaded a unit at the shop last Thursday, here are some photos. No doubts about this XJ13 as a superb project! Good luck on finishing it . . . and keep the photos coming. Best Regards

Rob, I don’t have any first hand knowledge of ERA’s product as it is delivered to the customer, but had a chance to view some nice build photos of an ERA GT40 at http://members14.clubphoto.com/andy634942/guest-1.phtml posted by GT40s forum member AJS.

Ron, Ditto to what Denis wrote. I am always interested in hearing about off-the-shelf and ready to go product as an alternative to fabricating the needed parts. Thanks for the links(s). Rich

I think both the XJR-15 and the XJ-220 are beautiful cars. A while back there was some stir about someone producing an XJR-15 replica. However, I don’t believe it was more than serious thought at the time, and I haven’t looked into it since. I happened to be instantly attracted to the XJ13 when...

Ron, I would be interested in getting the name/kink to the company you came across that produces the bell-housing that mates to T5, T56, or Porsche TA units. Also, as some others have pointed out, there are a few companies that produce very close (virtually exact) replicas of the XJ13, one...

Bill, Thank you for pointing out that The Sports Car Factory has an XJ13 replica kit (body chassis unit) coming soon. Ron & all, The Sports Car Faactory web site has some details on the offering. However, if anyone needs more info. please feel free to call or e-mail me. The molds are...

I thought this might be a good place to post a photo of Peter Ransom's DRB GT40 plus a video clip of my ride in it. I had the opportunity to tour GT40 Australia's facilities during my recent visit to Australia, and was quite impressed with the efficient layout and high level of activity. I...
