At the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance retired Jaguar test driver Norman Dewis tells us the story of the famous 1967 XJ13 which carried the first Jaguar V12. It had twin overhead cams and mechanical fuel injection. After it was finished, Jaguar's new parent company, British Leyland, cancelled all racing activities and the car never raced against the Ford GT 40's it was built to defeat. It had a top speed of 200 mph with more than 500 horsepower and high speed stability without wings. During a filming session at a test track the car crashed and was severely damaged. Later it was rebuilt to as-new condition as we see it here. Norman Dewis survived with no serious injuries.
