Porsche 962C Shorttail: Jaguar XJR6 (1985) - British Racing Green

Jaguar XJR-6 (85) Driven by Hans Heyer.

I had some troubles finding driver details for this car, but I've picked Hans Heyer who drove the car in 1986. (Other drivers: Win Percy, Tom Walkinshaw)

"...I had some troubles finding driver details for this car..."
The XJR6 debutted at Mosport, Canada in Aug1985, where none other than Martin Brundle together with Mike Thackwell, led the early going in car #51 and finished the 1000km race 3rd. The other car #52 had provisional drivers listed in the program as Tom Walkinshaw himself, with Hans Heyer and Jean-Louis Schlesser. I recall the car DNF'd. I was there to watch, and thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Jags rubbing shoulders with the dominant Rothmans Porsches.
A fine livery, and I understand the limitations of skins, but if someone could add rear wheel spats and a center-supported rear wing, this would look less like a 962

.
Thanx for this skin - brought back great memories!
