A client of ours built an excellent replica. Quad cam V12.

Try this link. https://vehicleengineering.com.au

John is very knowlegeable about the XK13, he even had Lofty England drive it, or perhaps ride in it. I can't remember.

I do know Norman Dewis was involved with the car. Norman was at the helm when it crashed. Lucky to be with us.

There are a couple of famous jaguar men!

Google a chap called Neville Swales (Building The Legend Ltd) as he possibly knows more about them than anyone else alive. His company sells replicas of the quad cam V12 that went in that car as he managed to buy one of the original engines some years back and that gave him the momentum to create his replica of the XJ13. With regards to the blueprints, I’m pretty sure none exist that would be available to anyone other than Jaguar employees, if at all.

@Fargoman - Norman Dewis was very lucky to survive but he is sadly no longer with us, having passed away in 2019.

Here’s an interesting article to read as well

Interesting reading about the XJ13. I wanted an XKE as a teen, but didn't have the scratch.

That welding example above is sexy, too!
