Description
The original XJ13 was a V12-powered one-off prototype developed in the 1960s under the direction of Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes with aluminum bodywork styled by C-, D-, and E-Type designer Malcolm Sayer. The car achieved a MIRA high-speed circuit record of 161.655 mph during 1967 testing but was unable to realize its intended future as a Le Mans contender due to rule changes. After being severely damaged during a promotional shoot in 1971, the XJ13 was rebuilt…
The original XJ13 was a V12-powered one-off prototype developed in the 1960s under the direction of Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes with aluminum bodywork styled by C-, D-, and E-Type designer Malcolm Sayer. The car achieved a MIRA high-speed circuit record of 161.655 mph during 1967 testing but was unable to realize its intended future as a Le Mans contender due to rule changes. After being severely damaged during a promotional shoot in 1971, the XJ13 was rebuilt two years later by its original panel fabricator, Abbey Panels.
While the original XJ13 was based on an aluminum monocoque, this replica is said to have been built around a space frame to which aluminum panels were affixed. Fiberglass bodywork simulating that of the XJ13 is finished in green, and various touchups and scrapes are noted in the finish. The louvered hood panel was repainted to address peeling. Features include a removable roof panel, a plexiglass engine cover, faired headlights, E-Type taillights, and a single NACA duct offset in the hood panel.
Compomotive wheels are secured by bolts concealed by covers behind simulated three-eared knock-offs and wear Pirelli P Zero Asimmetrico tires measuring 245/40ZR17 up front and 335/35ZR17 at the rear. Stopping is handled by ventilated and cross-drilled rotors acted upon by finned Coleman staggered-bore calipers, and the braking system is said to have been serviced approximately six months ago.
The cockpit houses a pair of seats trimmed in green leather, and a conversion from left-hand drive to right-hand drive was completed in 2020. Additional features include a gated shifter, green latch-and-link lap belts, and exposed aluminum door panels, sills, and kick panels.
The custom-made wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a contoured black dash panel that houses Smiths instrumentation including a 10k-rpm tachometer, a 240-mph speedometer, and gauges monitoring coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows two miles, with true mileage unknown. The seller notes intermittent malfunction of the gauges.
The mid-mounted HE V12 is said to displace 6.0 liters and features a custom engine management system with electronic fuel injection and Electromotive direct-fire ignition coils. The fluids are said to have been changed six months ago.
