Promotional Jaguar featuring: "A Promise Unfulfilled, the XJ13 was an iconic competition prototype designed by Malcolm Sayer and built by Jaguar to challenge at Le Mans in the mid-60s. Powered by a 5-litre quad-cam V12 engine, many consider it one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Sadly, regulation changes regarding engine displacement prevented this highly advanced machine from racing.
