Just out of interest (well .... of interest to a XJ13-nerd like me nerd) ...

... in 1964 Jaguar considered using titanium for the XJ13 chassis/monocoque. I wondered if anyone else actually did so in the 1960s?

I posted a little more info here Jaguar XJ13 - Building the Legend
The Autocoast Ti22 was the first titanium monocoque race car I'm aware of. Jaguar would've been five years ahead of Peter Bryant there.
