A one-off 1960s prototype Jaguar Le Mans race car worth an estimated $27 million will take part at the Bradford Classic this Saturday on July 19, 2008. The XJ13 that is owned by Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust and resides in its museum in Coventry is very rarely seen, let alone run, and it is believed that this is the first time it has ever run through a British city.

The XJ13 will be piloted by legendary Norman Dewis. He was the man behind the wheel when the XJ13 prototype crashed on the Mira test track in 1971 at 140 mph after earlier breaking the lap record at 161. Dewis escaped the accident unharmed and several years later, the racing car was rebuilt by Jaguar to a specification similar to the original.
