Jaguar XJ13: The Finest Jaguar That Never Was
•
The Jaguar XJ13 was a prototype racing car developed by Jaguar to challenge at Le Mans in the mid-1960s. It
never raced, and only one was ever produced.
•
With only one prototype of the XJ13 ever built by Jaguar, that car become a natural target for replicas. A few were
built, but only one comes as close to the original. Canberra's John Wilson spent 12 years building this perfect
replica, down to the Concorde plane rivets in the bodywork. After a whole lot of classic car rallies, it was sold to
another Jaguar aficionado who immediately started a total rebuild and took the engine up to 560kW.
•
The XJ13-R features a quad cam, 48 valve 700+hp V12 engine, with a Hewland five-speed gearbox. The car has
identical wheels to the original, and even the rivets are placed in the same positions as on the original car.
•
Jaguar's original test driver, Norman Dewis, who tested the prototype back in 1966 (now in his 90s) drove this
replica and said: "It's as close as I'll ever come to driving the original.”
