Three Jaguars

This was a display by the Historic Sports Car Club at the Silverstone Historic Festival meeting in August 2001.

Only one prototype Jaguar XJ13 was ever built and the first car here is a replica constructed by Proteus Cars. The second car is a 1952 Jaguar C-type, chassis number XKC004, and the third car is a 1955 Jaguar D-type long nose. Only 6 of these cars were built and the one in this photograph bears the registration number and race number of the 1955 Le Mans winning car. It isn't necessarily that car though, and could even be another Proteus replica.

Proteus Mercedes Benz 300SLR

This is a photograph taken at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in August 1996 and is of a replica of a Mercedes Benz 300SLR made by Proteus Cars Ltd. Proteus are better known for their replica Jaguar D-type, C-type and XJ13. The car next to the Mercedes is a Jaguar XJ13 and the E-Type Lightweight on the far left is also possibly a Proteus car. The 300SLR replica has been built to resemble the Stirling Moss/Denis Jenkinson 1955 Mille Miglia winning car, is one of six replicas made and is possibly the one shown in this Hofmann's website. That website calls it a recreation rather than a replica, but I recall that Denis Jenkinson called all such cars 'fakes'.
