Is this sexy or is it sexy?

 

 

The whole idea behind it is "what if? ..." 

 

What if Ecurie Ecosse had lifted the cover of the Jaguar XJ13 that had been pushed away into the corner of Jaguar's Competition Department at the end of 1967? Taking it and evolving it into a car that could compete at Le Mans in 1969. Its a unique Ecurie Ecosse race car that could have raced at Le Mans in 1969 if they had created their own car, the LM69. Powered by our unique quad-cam V12 power unit of the type which could have been heard howling down the Mulsanne Straight in 1969 and beyond.

Stop speculating, it didn't happen.

 

There are already companies building very close to original XJ13 clones.

If I had that kind of money and wanted a XJ13 replica, I would buy one, not a 'what if' car...

Not sure if Ecurie Cars will sell any of this fantasy cars.

When I saw the photo for the first time I thought this is a Lola T70 spyder turned into a messed up coupé.

 

Nev, to answer your question: just my personal opinion, this isn't sexy, this is BS.

Nice-looking kit car, but needs to lose any XJ13 connotations.

Strongly resent this raging pandemia of obscuring what is real and what is not!

Relax - "only 25 will be built"...

If it had happened back then and they sold a few would Murray have legged it with the money to the Canaries a little sooner than he did?
