This car competed in the 2 hour long British Empire Trophy race for Group C Endurance Cars at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.
It's the 1993 Jaguar XJR-12D of Nick Rini which was developed from the Group C XJR-12 for the US IMSA series. The XJR-12 was produced with a 7 litre V12 engine, but the programme of the Silverstone event quotes this car's capacity as 7.4 litres. There's a brief note about the car in the programme that says:
'The Silverstone grid will be graced by a pair of XJR-12s, one of them built for the IMSA series. This is the number 32 car, this weekend scheduled to be raced by Nick Rini and former Jaguar F1 test driver Tomas Scheckter,'
On 3 April 2017 I showed a photograph that I'd taken of what is apparently the same car at Donington Park in 2005 where it was described as a 1990 model.
