Still a stunning design. Years ago I enjoyed a visit to Browns Lane,(before it was sold for redevelopment,) and there were a number of iconic old Jaguars on display around the place. There were XK120's,XK140,s including the coupe that averaged 100mph over 24 hours at Jabbeke, XK150's,XKC's, XKD's, XKE's and practically every model of saloon ever built. There were also a couple of racing cars in the museum, but for me the star of the show was the XJ13. Like a D type on steroids but with a V12 behind the driver. It had been developed for racing, but the class it was intended for changed the rules before it could go into production. There have been some convincing replicas produced for those who have the money.
