Only one Jaguar XJ13 was ever built, and it never actually raced in the race it was meant to race in. That race being Le Mans in the 1960s. Shame, because it looked looks fantastic. Step forward Ecurie Ecosse a storied name in motorsport with a couple of Le Mans wins to its name. The Scottish racing team has announced a limited run of a car it"s calling the LM69 a homage to that famously handsome prototype Jag that famously never raced. Keen motorsport fans will immediately spot the LM69 doesn"t look exactly like the XJ13. That"s because, says Ecurie Ecosse, "its bodywork has been developed into an all-new design that has its own purposeful beauty". Mean looking thing, regardless of homage.
