His casual and approachable demeanor and generous nature interacting with other enthusiasts made a big impression on me. As I drove back to Seattle in my Jaguar XK 120 Fixed Head Coupe I laughed realizing that Jay owned the same car.

      I believe that up until they shut down the foundry had kept all the wooden patterns going way back. It appears all the patterns were discarded when it shut down.
      Interestingly, although there were only six engines made, there were a number of variations, one was cast iron, at least one was open deck (like the production V12), others closed deck, etc. I can't remember the variants now. One was used to trial a 60 degree V8 concept! I do not know whether these prototype castings would have been cast at the same foundry as the production castings.
      The guy who runs Building the Legend, bought one of the original six engines, complete sans fuel injection off German eBay. I believe it had been used as dressing on a Jaguar display stand or some such thing.

One of them being machining the prototype blocks and heads for the Jaguar V12 when it was still a 4 cam unit. He also machined the block and head of the engine Stirling Moss used in his last race when he crashed at Goodwood.

    Jay couldn't have possibly said it better when he said that this car is just absolutely beautiful. Racecars nowadays look good, but they aren't nearly as handcrafted as they were back when this car was new. The team who built this car and made it what it is today are EXTREMELY talented artists, because that's what this car is, a work of art, and a passion of love.

    You see; everyone thinks that the e-type is Jaguar's most beautiful car because they've never heard of an XJ13. This was Jaguar at their absolute best. It looks wonderful in polished alloy. The way the light just hits that thing is amazing...

    I met Norman Dewis (the Jaguar test driver who was driving the XJ13 when it crashed) at a Jaguar Club meeting in Auckland, New Zealand about 20 years ago. Absolutely lovely guy and a true legend. I've still got the commemorative bottle of wine that the club got made for the occasion, signed by Norman himself. Of course, the wine doesn't exist any more. There's a great guy down in the South Island of NZ who built at least 1 XJ13 replica. It was a pretty faithful replica as far as I can remember, all hand built using wooden bucks etc. He also made superb C-Type replicas.

    Grace Space and Pace. My brother has an XJ-13 replica. Not to this level, but still awesome. Full aluminum chassis, 6 piston front calipers - with provisions for a 2nd caliper at each wheel. 450HP isn't a lot today, but in a 1700 lb car (with fluids) -its truly next level power. Big issue is getting tires for 15" wheels that can handle that power to weight. And fitting big brakes. Thus, he runs 18's on the track, the 15's are strictly for show.
