Jaguar XJ13 and others

[LDM]

I had the good fortune to be able to visit the Mike Hawthorn museum over the weekend. There were many gorgeous cars both on display and in attendance. Most of which would be on my wish list.

I have always loved the XJ13 ever since having a toy as a kid, Would happily have one, even if just a replica.

Sorry was meaning that "I" would be happy with a good replica.
The car above is a Proteus P90 XJ13 I believe.

A fair point I guess.

The museum primarily houses a collection of Hawthorn memorabilia but not exclusively and as such there are other items within the museum including some from Jaguar's history and that of motorsport etc.

Many museums or collections also contain items with tenuous links to the other items.

A very nice find and something that could of so easily been lost! Thanks for sharing.

I thought it was a nice collection and in superb surroundings.

Goodwood F.o.S XJ13 - something to compare the car above with!

I have heard rumours of Mk Xs used as development mules...

Now that would make for something interesting!

And they let James Martin drive it?
Given his record I hope they'd fitted a very strict rev limiter

I wouldn't have let him near it - he's a danger to cars!
