What is the point in repeating all the mistakes made by the Jaguar employed companies who rebuilt the crash wreck? The car used to be at Browns Lane. It was when I measured it and was essentially the same shape and size with just detail differences, like those silly wheel arch flairs which change the essence of the car so much. Neville Swales has managed to build a perfect replica of the original car, the only one that could be called an XJ13. If he could do it and I did it with my 1/43rd scale collectors' model, years ago, anyone could do it. The current one looks like all the rather pointless single cam kit cars that have aped that version. Apart from the details, yours is a very good looking model though.
