Heritage Notes

Nicknamed "Brontosaurus"

Car History

From Jaguar Sports Racing Cars by Philip Porter

Named unofficially as the "Brontosaurus." Clothed in an all-enveloping body, car was built during 1953 to works order #WCR 1148. Designed by Lyons with the possibility of record-breaking in mind, it was run a few times in late 1953. Company paperwork stated "being reduced to produce by Service Department."

Philip Porter is the author of numerous books on the Jaguar marque. In additional to writing books and magazine articles and managing several businesses, he runs the XK Club and E-Type club from Worcestershire, England. His latest books include the Jaguar Scrapbook and the Stirling Moss 1929 - 1954 Scrapbook.
