This is the XK13 Jaguar, the only one in existance, and valued at £17.5 Mill! I was informed, at the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb last Sunday, but what a piece of kit!....Morrag

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

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 |
