OK, I know there is a Jaguar bias and many of you live outside the UK, but GT40 forum subscribers are invited to see & hear "The 13" and other classic racecars - including examples of Jaguar's iconic cars as they circulate round Curborough's small and friendly Sprint Circuit in Staffordshire...

OK - perhaps 50 years too late but anyone with cars based in the UK willing to share a project milestone with me? YouTube Video - "The 13" We are planning a "demo" run on a sprint track in the UK early August. Whilst there will be plenty of choice classic Jaguars sharing the day with me, I...

We are about to cast a number of bellhousings designed to attach Jaguar's V12 to Quaife's excellent QBE62G ZF Transaxle. The bellhousings are suitable for 5.3 or 6.0 litre blocks. The Quaife ZF is a direct replacement for the ZF original transmission can be fitted to many mid-engined supercars...

We woke my original 1964 quad-cam prototype V12 engine yesterday. 50 years ago Jaguar's No.1 engine was started by Jim Eastick in the presence of the late William Heynes (Jaguar's Engineering Director). Yesterday, the same man - Jim Eastick - started the No.2 engine in the presence of Jonathan...

Come and share the dream :)

A few more steps towards the dream of seeing my XJ13 recreation on a track and nibbling at the heels of a GT40 .... Jaguar XJ13 - Building The Legend

Only a little GT40 content but I thought there may be enough interest amongst you all to post here. In conjunction with "Building the Legend Limited", the owners of LYNX have decided with some regret to cease production of these rare and beautiful cars. Whilst the cost of manufacture is a key...

As we begin putting the finishing touches to our unique recreation of the original 1966 Jaguar XJ13 Le Mans Prototype, we find ourselves in the position where we are ready to follow on with additional cars. The intention is to produce a limited run of authentic replicas which celebrate the...

Gents - I have acquired an enormous collection of Jaguar parts I am slowly sifting through. Although I know a little about Jaguar oily bits, I don't think this item ever saw service in a Jaguar ;) Could it be ex GT40? (the source I acquired the parts from worked on an original GT40 at one...

Would Jaguar's XJ13 have seen off the Mk IV GT40 at Le Mans in 1967 if the commitment had been there from Jaguar? In my opinion? Yes. Let me explain ... Original XJ13 - Would it have been competitive? What do you think? By the way - anyone know what happened to the GT40...

Seem to be having a bit of a problem posting this - apologies if it appears twice. A bit OT perhaps but there is some GT40 content and a bit about shortening my driveshafts. If Jaguars offend you just page down :snobby: Crawled out from under my XJ13 long enough to post some stuff about...

My transaxle is an eBay-purchase ZF DS25-1 from Utah. I was quite lucky as it turned out to be unused and still in its crate from the mid 60s (don't you just love eBay?? :heart:). After a thorough checkout by a ZF specialist which included flipping it 180 degrees it is now ready to mate to my...

A bit of background .... Today I collected my new and unused dash-one ZF transaxle after it was turned the right way up for my application (will be mated to my original Jaguar quad-cam prototype "XJ13" engine). The conversion was carried out by Paul Fleming in the UK who looks after a range...

Can anyone please give me a good starting point for spring weights (in lbs) used for a full-race GT40? My project isn't a GT40 but a car with similar configuration. I know the spring rate will only be a starting point and I will have to play around with rates etc once I get the car on a...
