It was lovely to see a potted history of cars that have featured in Autosports seventy years of existance, congrats to everyone who has been involved in keeping us informed over that period.
With the arrival of Group C my interest in Formula One took a serious tumble in terms of attendance and enjoyment of events through the colums of Autosport, so it was a pleasant surprise to see the XJR8 below at the Autosport International.
No history for this car was given.
But I believe I have seen the same car at Beaulieu and if that is the case other sources on the intelweb show the chassis plate as being TWR JRCR 003 completed in January 1988, so I am guessing this was built as a show car, can anyone confirm this was indeed the case and / or how many show XJR8s were built ?
My inner sticker collecting pedant had a giggle when I saw the label on the stand ;-)
