It’s been a long while since we brought you a random wallpaper, an image we offer up for no other reason than the car in question must be shared with you. So when this image of a 1966 Jaguar XJ13 prototype came our way we knew exactly what we had to do.
Those of you who know your Jags will know the XJ13 was never raced and that the prototype in these pictures is the only one ever made. And if you really know your stuff you’ll know the XJ13 was crashed in the early 1970s and sat in storage for a couple of years before it was rebuilt.
We’ve been a little cheeky and copied and pasted a slab of text from the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, accessible via the Wayback Machine, which details the story of this remarkable looking car.
By chance, if you happen to be reading from England you’ve got a chance to see the XJ13 in action at the 2013 Kop Hill Climb which is on this weekend.
