I imagine thats the only way most people would get to drive it

THATS NO USE============================ not enough room for ma tool box  ;D ;D

O.K, so excuse my ignorance, but is that a new Jag or a classic one? Kinda difficult to tell. Could be either.

one off new i think  ;) ;)

If its the original (as oppossed to a replica/kit) it was made in 1966........

Had the worlds oldest E type just down the road from me today, shame i couldn`t get along for a look!

the prettiest car jaguar never built they always build the most beautiful one offs and concepts and hardly ever follow up on them

same story throughout the british car industry. best car Rover ever designed was the 75 and then they went bust. go figure ??? ??? ??? ???

in the mid-late 70s BL had a 16 valve twin cam head based on the sprint slanted 4 engine and a new dolomite hatchback on the drawing board it was called the SD2 but all the money had been taken up by the rover sd1 so the Honda Accord was re-badged as a Triumph instead makes you cringe .Look for a site called aronline its a history of BMC BL Austin Rover and MG/Rover and is littered with missed oppertunities

Don't know if these were 'concept' motors or not, but Jaguar didn't do too bad with the SS100, XK120, XK150. C-Type, D-Type, E-type (esp the 'lightweights') and Mk1 ......  ;D

Alas, piggy bank won't stretch to any of these................

piccie of lightweight

pretty car

MIRA crash In 1971 the Series 3 E-type was about to be launched with Jaguar's first production V12 engine. The publicity team wanted a shot of the XJ13 at speed for the opening sequence of the film launching the V12 E-Type. On 21 January 1971, the XJ13 was taken to MIRA for the filming with Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis at the wheel. Unfortunately, a rear tyre deflated at speed, the car rolled heavily and was nearly destroyed although Norman Dewis was fortunately unharmed. The wreck of the car was put back into storage.

Some years later, Edward Loades spotted the crashed XJ13 in storage at Jaguar and made the offer to 'Lofty' England that his company Abbey Panels should rebuild the car. The car was rebuilt, to a specification similar to the original, using the body jigs made for its original construction and at a cost of £1000 to Jaguar. The XJ13 finally made its public debut in July 1973 when 'Lofty' drove it around Silverstone at the British Grand Prix meeting and it is now displayed in the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust collection
