Description
RJH 400 Chassis S661165 was prepared new by the factory for Eric Haddon to compete in the 1954 Tulip and Alpine International Rallies. Lofty England, manager of the Jaguar Sports Car Racing Team, entered RJH400 as a works prepared car for these events.
Although not owned by Jaguar Cars Ltd, Sir John Egan referred to RJH 400 as “our XK120” such was its importance. Indeed NUB 120 and RUB 120 which are now owned by Jaguar Land Rover Classics Ltd & the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust also started out as privateer vehicles prepared by the works.
RJH400 won its class in the 1954 Alpine Rally and was 2nd in class in the 1954 Tulip Rally.
