XJ13 - Gathering at Jaguar Heritage last Friday
18.12.2011 at 11:48:02
 
I was privileged to be invited to a small gathering at Jaguar Heritage last Friday. The occasion was to mark the launch of Peter Wilson's new XJ13 book. I posted some pics/video here:

Highlight of the day for me was being able to speak to some of the surviving original team who were involved in the project - Norman Dewis, George Buck, Frank Philpott, Jim Eastick, Ron Greves, Mike Kimberley, Roger Shelbourne,  Robert Berry, Peter Taylor & Peter Wilson

I must emphasise that I have no commercial interest in Peter's book.

Classic Jaguar enthusiast and racer. Having acquired an original quad-cam prototype V12 engine I can now fulfil an ambition of building and hopefully racing an authentic "toolroom copy" of the XJ13 http://www.xj13.eu

Neville, I am extreamly jealous of your invite, it must have been a marvellous evening to meet so many of the original team that put an exceptional car together.It is a crying shame nobody has re-manufactured the X13, the best looking car Jaguar has ever made, and I wish you well in your ambition to build your vehicle.

        All the best Brian

I support all of Brian's comments, particularly with regard to the looks of the XJ13. An all time best. Cheers, Archie
