Silk Cut Purple Wall Art

Silk Cut Purple — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. The XJR-14's 1991 World Sportscar Championship sweep arrived as Group C transitioned from turbocharged fuel-formula cars to 3. 5-litre naturally aspirated rules — a regulatory reset that favoured Jaguar's clean-sheet Brawn design over aging Porsche and Mercedes entries. Jaguar's 1988 Le Mans victory with the XJR-9 broke Porsche's run of seven consecutive wins and restored British manufacturer pride at La Sarthe after decades of near-misses. The Silk Cut livery — purple, white, and gold pinstripe — became one of Group C's most recognisable colour schemes, and the plan-view silhouette with enclosed rear wheels remains a shorthand for Mulsanne aerodynamic obsession.
