HWM Jaguar

[8Ace]

This evening on the M25, spotted burbling along in traffic. Not seen anything like it but had a Jaguar badge on the back and clearly an ex racer. Anyone know anything about these? Number plate was 1HWM and rather suspect I've seen something quite special.

^^^^^^^^^^^That's the badger. Must be worth a few bob and its a brave driver that would take it onto the rush hour M25 and its frankly catastrophic standards of driving.
