There was one at Road America in July. It is the
single most beautiful car I have ever seen.

=====================================
You know, it's kind of funny, Porasik, Soave, Peter C and I all just
salivated over that car at Road America. It was absolutely drop-dead
gorgeous. Why doesn't a car company (Jaguar, in this case) produce a car
like that for the road? It would certainly be a huge hit.
Also at Road America that day we saw Chuck Beck's Spyder. He does great
work on his repros (ask Peter about the 550 Spyder Chuck had there). Why
wouldn't he do a repro of the XJ13? He is presently doing a repro of a 904.
As much as I like the 904, I would think an XJ13 would be every bit as
popular, if not more so.
So many beautiful cars and concepts that the public goes ape over and they
don't produce them. Hey, we are waiting here with money in hand just
waiting for them to make something we will buy. I don't get it.
