1976 Broadspeed Racing Jaguar XJ-12 Coupe

[DasWiesel]

Fantastic work so far. Body and wheels are looking great.
Don´t know, if it is an exact replica, but it´s more than good enough for me to be interested in a copy of your Jag.
PM me your email, i will send you all ref. pics i have.

Thank you for the kind comments about my Jaguar peoject, appreciate a lot!

This is my [email protected] I tried to PM it to you but was not possible from my phone web and since my computer is still at the repair shop...again...have not been able to post pictures of the new progress.

I have found a lot of pictures of these race cars in the internet, butnot much in particular interior,engine,trunk or chassis detail..so any new image will certanly be appreciated.

Hope to have my computer back and running for next week so a couple of new pictures of this project be posted by then...I HOPE!!

I assume someone ownes one of these race cars? So ask them to take some pictures and such of interior etc. I emailed Porsche and asked for some pictures awhile back of a 959 Racer that ran in Lemans #80 and they sent them . Can't hurt. really Love this project. But I am a Jaguar racing car fan. More pic's please and thanks for answering my email. Mike

Superb work so far, the Broadspeed Jag is one of my all time favourite 70's ETCC racer's! I have a Provence Moulage 1:43 1976 version to do and a 1:25 scale one is much more impressive! The version you are building with the rear boot spoiler is the 1977 version and these only ran with the blue sides as shown in the poster (except for perhaps during testing?).

The restored version that is racing now is a 1977 version with the 1976 decals I think.

I too have seen the restored car racing at Mallory Park recently and it was awesome! Unfortunately the original side exit exhausts are now only for show so we couldn't hear the orignal incredible noise but it still sounded fantastic!

I took plenty of photograph's, I will see what I have of the interior etc for you!

I notice the restored car is advertised for sale in the latest version of Motorsport magazine, you could buy the full size car!

Good luck, and keep it going!

You are right about Porsche, they help me with photos of the 917K some years ago and point me in the right direction to find even more info....at least the person at Porsche who responded my query back then, am still very greatfull for his/their help!

I have been a little sidetracked at the workbench lately, but will be posting a new update of this Jaguar project very soon, plan to have it ready to enter it in a local scale model exibition in about a month Thanks for your interest and kind words about this project, greatly appreciated.

This car looks so good....well all Jaguars do in my personal opinion, hope to some day be able to see this Broadspeed XJC in person!

Thanks for the kind words. You are correct about the year colors/paint job, also the front spoiler is a little different in design, I am painting in the blue sides 1977 version. Also repainted the wheels centers black since the gold ones where used in only a few times.

By the way, you should see the 1/43 scale super detailed model of this Broadspeed XJC using the AMR white metel kit been made by a French master modeler, it even have a scrachtbuilt engine....is mindblowing!!!!!!!!.....my big scale effort looks like a poor attemt at doing justice to this race car.



Hope to some day be able to see the real car, it truly an impresive machine.

That 1/43rd model is amazing. They had it a Retromobile on display. Yours is also very nice.

It's great to see a model of this incredible machine - I saw the real thing being driven in anger many many years ago in Silverstone (showing my age now!) - wonderful to see the progress you are making - it looks great - looking forward to seeing the finished product,
Best of luck,
Regards,
Paul

Thanks for the link, I did e-mail them when began my model but never got a replay from them, the same goes for the Jaguar Fundation which have/had the car on display at their facility, it seems they are to occupied or do not wish to send pictures to non buyers/organization members?

But again, thank you very much and greatly appreciated!!.....and looking forward to see more magnificent updates of your new Stulz race/record car model project....that one is MINDBLOWING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shame I have overlooked this thread. Very nice work and I do like this old sporty Jag.
