race in 1950 Hulman purchased the car for him to drive while in town, knowing how much he liked Jaguars. Apparently Hulman drove it
some too as it now has all of just over 6000 miles on the odometer.
One thing that did stand out was the amount of curvature
looking down on the spats. I remember there being some discussion of this a while back. There was a lot. Much more that necessary to my mind to continue the sweep of the plan view curve. [...]''
