Came across this picture of what I’m assuming is the crash of the original XJ-13 in 1971. Now this got me thinking that I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of the original XJ-13 before the crash, and if Oppo has any leads on that it would be greatly appreciated. Here’s a pic I found that may be from before the crash, but idk.

If there’s any car to rival the greatest Renaissance artwork, it might as well be this.

After a little searching, here’s a few pics that appear to be pre-1971 vintage:

Not sure about this one, something about the photography feels modern even though the people’s dress appears old:

Edit: Looks like another angle from the same shoot, this one does not look modern:

Oh, and BTW, your photo is definitely post crash, the VW van is too new, as is the bike.

If you like or love Jaguars. You’ve got to watch this interview with Norman Dewis. A true British legend.

The following photos are from 2013 in Perth, Western Australia, of what I thought was a replica, if this happens to be the real deal then even better.

Since that’s a VW Vanagon in the background, the earliest that photo can be in 1982. Since that work van looks pretty beat, I’m guessing this has to be a photo from the late 80s - early 90s.

There’s also a Trek mountain bike with an u-lock. The coloring looks very similar to this frame dating ‘89. The u-lock makes think that the picture might be quite a lot newer. The flimsy wire locks were a lot more common in early 90's.

I think that all of the b/w pictures are from the ‘71 filming session.

The exhaust pipes and tires make me think it’s a replica, but damn it is beautiful nonetheless.

That and the third brake light in the engine bay means it probably is a replica, but considering only one was ever made, I don’t have a problem drooling over this one.
