1991 Jaguar XJR-14 - LeMans test car
SPARK: 18S034.
Jaguar XJR-4 LeMans test 1991.
Status: LONG SOLD OUT....rare!
This car represents one of the greatest stories at the 24hr of LeMans.
Designed by Ross Brawn and built by Tom Walkinshaw Racing for Jaguar this masterpiece is not very well known.
The car never achieved success at LeMans for which it was designed, however, three chassis were built and used for 1991: 591, 691, & 791. In the early part of the 1991 World Sportscar Championship season the XJR-14 was in a league of its own and won the Championship in 1991.
In 1991 Mazda won the 24hrs of LeMans with the rotary engined 787B. From 1992 Mazda attempted to repeat their success.............with TWR built (but slightly longer wheel base) XJR-14 chassis' design known as the Mazda MXR-01.
What makes this car extra special is the fact that is was lost in the TWR factory after 1991 until Porsche decided to support Reinhold Joest with a 1996 entry to LeMans. Joest acquired chassis TWR-791 and with Porsche supplying the engine and transmission the car was transformed into a spyder (open-top).
Wearing Joest's lucky number 7, the now TWR-WSC95-001 raced to victory at the 1996 24hrs of LeMans. One year later, Joest and his lucky 7 would win overall AGAIN!
FINALLY this gorgeous model is now part of the CARVtech collection !!
Huge thanks to Creation JMG for this extremely rare piece of history
