Jaguar XJ-13 prototype

This was the last Jaguar LEMANS prototype built by Jaguar. It is also the last Jaguar designed by Malcolm Sayer, who also designed the Jaguar C, D and E types. This car was built during 1965 and 1966. Jaguar no longer had the financial resources to bring this car into competitive status and the project was shelved with a single prototype built.

This prototype is powered by a mid mounted V-12 engine that also never went into production. This was Jaguar's first V-12 design.

The car crashed during publicity filming in 1971 and sat for two years until Jaguar rebuilt the car.

Jaguar reentered factory backed racing in 1974.

I personally feel that this was the most beautiful car Jaguar ever built and would be my choice in the game of" if I could have any car in the world".

Jaguar was the featured Marque during the 1992 Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca Raceway.

The Jaguar factory brought prototype and race cars for display during the race weekend.
