The Scalextric C4261 reproduces the formidable Jaguar XJS #4 of Tom Walkinshaw Racing, raced by Tom Walkinshaw, Chuck Nicholson and Win Percy at the 1982 Spa 24 Hours.

The Real Car – Jaguar XJS #4
The TWR Jaguar XJS was developed around Jaguar's powerful V12 and became an important force in European touring car racing during the early 1980s. At the 1982 Spa 24 Hours, the #4 Team Motul Jaguar qualified on pole position with a time of 2:52.910.
The car was driven by Tom Walkinshaw, Chuck Nicholson and Win Percy, but its race ended with accident damage. Racing Sports Cars records the #4 XJS as a Division 3 entry that started from pole and failed to finish. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Despite the retirement, the 1982 XJS programme marked the beginning of a highly successful period for TWR Jaguars. The XJS would go on to achieve major touring-car victories, including the Spa 24 Hours in 1984. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
