1983\u21921985 Jaguar XJR-5<\/h1>\n

This XJR-5 epitomizes everything that is best about American racing design, construction and preparation combined with the best of British international racing heritage and pedigree from Jaguar. It was campaigned in IMSA Championship by the best drivers such as Brian Redman and built by Bob Tullius’ Group 44 racing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bob Tullius had been a long time enthusiast for the British marque when he formed the Group 44 racing team in the early 1960s with partner Brian Feurstenau. He loyally campaigned Jaguar E-Types \u2013 in addition to MGs and Triumph TR8s \u2013 in the USA for the following two decades. He had also found time to be deeply involved with the ground-breaking Howmet gas turbine-engined Le Mans car project of 1968 and his experience of racing that car at Le Mans \u2013 in the world-famous 24-Hour race which Jaguar had won five times through the 1950s \u2013 determined him to return there one day in a car of his own construction. The result was the Jaguar XJR-5, which was built essentially with the IMSA race organization\u2019s premier GTP class in mind. Bob Tullius persuaded Mike Dale of Jaguar Cars Inc, New Jersey, to fund the project, and he engaged former GM and Ford designer Lee Dykstra to design an up-to-date car for him, to accept the Jaguar V12 racing engine as already prepared by Group 44 for their Championship-winning E-Type variant.<\/p>\n

By January 1982 drawings and clay models of the Lee Dykstra-designed ground-effect aerodynamics Coupe contender were released for public consumption. Dykstra\u2019s design was for a sheet aluminum monocoque chassis with honeycomb floor section and tubular-reinforced steel bulkheads. Long underfloor aerodynamic venture tunnels extended from behind the flat-bottomed cockpit area alongside the fully-stressed V12 engine block, curving inwards towards the rear to exit beneath the full-width rear wing. The graceful and beautifully-proportioned bodywork was fashioned in carbon fiber and Kevlar composite and the first 5.3-liter V12-engined XJR prototype was tested at Summit Point as early as June 1982.<\/p>\n

In late-August it made its racing debut at Road America, where Bob Tullius and Bill Adam co-drove to a third-place finish behind two of the familiar Porsche 935s. They were the first GTP crew home \u2013 a most promising debut.<\/p>\n

Lee Dykstra embarked upon a lengthy development programme to improve his new car\u2019s competitiveness, and this program would \u2013 by the summer of 1985 \u2013 have seen a claimed \u201c99.9 per cent\u201d of the Group 44 design\u2019s original components being re-drawn. The engine grew from 5.3-liters to fully 6-liters by 1984, and the V12 units were fitted with Lucas\/Micos engine management systems. Bob Tullius\/Bill Adams had won their first race outright at Road Atlanta in 1983 and further victories followed, at Lime Rock, Mosport and Pocono where Doc Bundy co-drove with Tullius, who finished second only to Porsche\u2019s Al Holbert in that year\u2019s IMSA Drivers\u2019 Championship.<\/p>\n

Multiple Le Mans-winning driver Derek Bell meanwhile tested one of the Group 44 team\u2019s XJR-5 cars at Silverstone in mid-1983 and his very favorable report attracted the final green light from Jaguar for Group 44 to enter Le Mans 1984. The two-car Group 44 team was unlucky there, but the white and two-tone green liveried Coupes made a superb impression.<\/p>\n

XJR-5\/009-This particular car was retained at home in the USA as a major team contender from 1984 and 1985. It was prodominately driven by Brian Redman and Hurley Haywood, fetching a first in Atlanta in 1985. It was restored by Group 44 in September 1987, and eventually sold to renowned German collector Peter Kaus for his Rosso Bianco Collection at Aschaffenburg. After that collection was bought by Evert Louwman, Bonhams and Brooks auctioned the car at theit 2006 Important Sale of Collectors’ Motorcars auction for $238,000 inclusive of Buyer’s Premium.<\/p>\n
