This car is one of six modified by Jaguar for competition work. A Jaguar internal memo of 26 April 1950 lists the detailed modifications carried out. Original engine allocated was W 1311-8. As stated above the car was allocated to Tommy Wisdom.

I have detail photos when I visited on a trip to England in 1986. I will share if anyone would like more detail. I used these pictures in the restoration of #660111. I do know that the numbers did not match and many modifications had been made to the car. The owner was a very hospitable owner or operator of a local preformance car sles dealer outside London.

This car was the subject of a very detailed article in the British magazine, "Thoroughbred and Classic Cars" of November 1985. The article was written by the great Jaguar author/historian par excellance Andrew Whyte and he deals in detail with the history of the car, its restoration/modification by David Cottingham's DK Engineering.
The work was completed by 1984. At that time disc brakes were fitted and suspension mods carried out. The engine was non-original. Also, Whyte comments on the car's colour. The original owner, Tommy Wisdom had the car delivered in a lightish green which Whyte thought was Pastel Green but inspection beneath "the multi-coloured layers of many repaintings" revealed a somewhat darker green and that was the colour chosen(which no-one really liked!)- more of an apple green, not Briitsh Racing Green.
