From British Racing Club of British Columbia: "JDU 877E that Series 1 primrose beauty, actually it was known as a Series 1 1/2 because the headlights were not faired in as they were on the Series 1. JDU 877E was used by every literary hack that could drive and write and was the work-horse of many an article. It hung around for a number of years and then disappeared from sight until reappearing in 1976 painted a dark green and not with the original bonnet either (Hood to the new continent devotees); perhaps a little continental ding and it was time for a repaint. It was bought by Jaguar fanatic Henry Pearman; having used it for club events it was eventually sold on and the new owner took it back to its original primrose yellow and that somehow seems the right and proper thing to do. It still sits on the rather slender 185/70 radial tyres but consequently it has no flares and that’s a good thing too." -- Last edit: 2012-12-10 19:27:35 (dsl) |

JDU877E was also used in a three car test (with, I think a Lotus but I can't remember the third car) around this time. If memory serves me correctly they took it to Belgium to test it's speed and I believe it clocked 156 mph. It was returned from one of the tests in a disgraceful state with little dings in the bodywork and it needed new discs, clutch and flywheel. Parksey |
