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...

[@robertnicholson7733]

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.

[@JamesMartland65]

British petrol-head here. So impressed with the love behind this project. And the video is made in the same manner. My soul aches to see this car, thank you to everyone involved. Amazing dedication.

Full circle. In 1991 I saw the original XJ 13 at Pebble Beach, and was also blessed to meet and speak with Jay himself. 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. Thanks Jay for all you have done sharing your love and extensive knowledge of these remarkable machines. Your life has made a huge contribution to our society.

Jaguar suspension was fantastic. I remember stripping and building it on an XJ6 roller bearings instead of rubber bushes, inboard discs less unstrung weight, drive shaft used as one of the wishbones less weight again, trailing links to keep in in line. All in a compact frame with Differential brakes and twin coil springs each side, all isolated from the car by rubber bushes it did float along.

First time I saw this car was in the Gran Turismo (5 I think) game many years ago. Fell in love with it. Prefered it in the British Racing Green. As much as the rivetting detail is spectacular the green hid them well & made the car look even sleeker which I preferred. Either way, I'm a little jealous but happy that this guy had the wherewithal & passion to get his dream car built & show it.

Yep, the Chrome Color is too much... This car must be in the original British Racing Green! One of the most sexy Racecars that never raced. The lines must have come from a imagined woman...🥰

[@TeHo672]

What a stunning car! The workmanship looks out of this world. My father worked for an engineering company in Markyate, North Hertfordshire in the UK from about the mid 50s until he retired around 1990, and told me of some of the more interesting jobs he had worked on. 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.

[@BuildingTheLegend]

Hi - machining was done by Coventry Climax (later taken over by Jaguar). Did your father work there?

[@TeHo672]

@@BuildingTheLegend No, he didn't. I believe the company was called Jig Borers Ltd, possibly Jig Borers (Markyate) Ltd? Perhaps Coventry Climax sub-contracted the work to them? I know they had a very large (and expensive) Societe Genevoise jig borer that my father worked on.

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.

I had the great fortune to be standing in the Jag Heritage shop in 2016 when Neville Swales took delivery of one of four 4-cam v-12 blocks known to exist. This is the real deal, folks. There will never be another like it. Building the legend, indeed.

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.

[@Brock_Landers]

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.

I was lucky enough to be at Pebble Beach when the original was shown. It was displayed in an area set off from the other cars and I happened to see it before heading out to see the rest of the field. Seeing that car first pretty much rendered seeing all the others moot as I couldn't quit thinking about Jag's masterpiece. I was glad to see that the owner of this car opted for leaving the fender mounted rearview mirrors off as they were the only thing that, to my eye, detracted from the lines of the original. Just stunning.
