XJB303H looking forlorn on a trailer after it’s last big smash. Ithink this was how Mark Swingler bought it, late 1980s but I can’t be sure.
XJB303H another sad sight of 303 looking pretty knocked about, in fact more knocked about that it was at the roadside in Epynt. Is this after the Coronation Rally or earlier?
XJB305H looking like a model. As it’s in Team Castrol colours I think this is probably the Scottich Rally 1971
XJB303H on the San Remo Prime in the South of France before losing a wheel and crashing into a tree – they managed to patch it up and get going again
Coltelloni in the Citroen takes a detour whilst the crew of XJB303H try figure out what to do about a blocked road caused by a couple of crashed trucks. Somewhere on the Serbian Prime
Here is XJB302H at the finish of the 1975 RL Brown Trophy rally, driven by Hartley Timmins. The car looks well used indeed. Picture coutesy of Rob Lees
XJB303H – post World Cup and driven here by Hilebrand Bos with Ann Bos navigating – 6º Rallye TAP, 1972. Beleived to have retired due to gearbox issues. Picture courtesy of Phill Stonley
XJB305H very sideways, excellent!
XJB305H – borrowed from an eBay listing
XJB305H from one of the Castrol Rally manuals I have, wearing No 1 I think this was probably taken on the 1971 Scottish Rally
XJB305H – ignore the caption, it’s misleading. WRX902H was the test car and 1970 Scottish Rally car, not XJB305H shown here – note the stripe over the bonnet and roof, these are Team Castrol colours
