RVX 700 was a road car also driven and raced alongside some of the great race legends back in the early 50's. Documented history can be found in a recently published book : 'The Jaguar XK 120 in Competition' by Dr James Fraser. An amazing book. I also have some original programme details from Boreham Race Circuit showng S R Powell using a Jaguar at several events. You will find in James’ book a race photo of the car on track too to confirm period racing history (Race number 112)….

If you are looking for a seriously interesting and worthy project car to keep you occupied this winter, this vehicle has the right history to be a race eligible car for the likes of the best Classic International Rallies, Road Events and more importantly Race Events such as "Goodwood, Silverstone Classic, Mille Miglia, etc". Early cars have that wonderful look and feel about them too… no vent boxes, chrome side lights, the wheel spats, studless cam cover cylinder head, etc…
