In the 1960s, Jaguar created a remarkable Le Mans race car that was meant to compete with other iconic cars like the Aston Martin DBR1 and the Ferrari 250. However, this V-12-powered beauty never saw the track as Jaguar decided to sell its only prototype in a private sale. Fast forward to today, and there are companies like Predator Performance in Largo, Florida that can build you an authentic replica of this legendary race car.
One such replica, a Jaguar XJ13, was built in the mid-2010s and later converted to right-hand drive in 2019. The current owner of this stunning car is none other than the famous wrestling star and car enthusiast, John Cena. Painted in a striking British Racing Green color, this replica features a fuel-injected V-12 engine, a five-speed manual transmission, and eye-catching bronze Rotiform wheels with Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02 tires.
With just 220 original miles on the odometer, it’s clear that Cena cherished this replica. However, for car enthusiasts looking to own a piece of automotive history, this Jaguar XJ13 replica is now up for grabs. The auction site Bring a Trailer is currently accepting bids with no reserve, and the current bid stands at $72,500. While this may seem steep, similar XJ13 replicas have sold for well over six figures in the past, with a top-tier example fetching nearly half a million dollars at an auction in Monterey in 2019.
