Arc welding saves a legend from becoming
'history'
A legendary car suffered a crash while being driven on a test track. The crash caused severe cracking on several panels but was successfully restored using arc welding.
Jaguar, one of the most fascinating automotive brands of the world and above all famous for its exquisite style, trusts on Fronius MagicWave 2000 in terms of aluminium welding Coventry, UK
The Jaguar XJ13 model, Jaguar's first and only rear engine car built in the mid-1960's was never raced due to corporate concerns.
The car was the first aluminium prototype vehicle that Jaguar built for some of the research and development carried out for the E-type Jaguar.
The original XJ13 crashed heavily while testing in 1971, was then rebuilt and resides in the Jaguar Museum.
Only recently, the legendary car suffered a crash while being driven on a test track.
The crash caused severe cracking on several panels and was restored by using a TPS-Fronius MagicWave 2000.
Besides, also the new aluminium model of Jaguar, X-350, is welded using TPS-Fronius technology.
