And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Jaguar XJ13, constructed like an airplane with riveted aluminium panels and using a unique 5.0 V12 DOHC engine. Only one was built in the '60s and three or four replicas have been made using XJ12 engines. Unfortunately it was never raced. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntXdeRbpyp8 Al_in_Ottawa
Nice nice nice. Beautiful hand forming, talk about low drag! A thing of beauty. Love a look at the bare chassis, probably chrome moly tubing, definitely looks like some skilled aircraft makers where involved in that.
Back in the 1980's I worked with a pleasant young lady who eventually went on to marry a bloke who makes exotic car replicas. He made one of these and I got to see it during a visit. I didn't like the large diameter steering wheel (which was as it was) but the shape was beautiful. I don't think he let anyone drive it, well not me anyway.
I’d drive that!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an old MatchBox car that I had.
