George Mason, the last surviving Jaguar works racing mechanic from the Briggs Cunningham era of lightweight E Types at Le Mans, has passed away aged 78.
Following his active involvement with the works racing team under the auspices of Ted Brookes as chief mechanic, he then pursued a development role on the Jaguar XJ 13 project, which was Jaguar’s stillborn reply to the Ferrari P4. Designed by Derek White, who later masterminded the 3-litre Formula One Cooper Maserati, XJ 13 was a rear-engined 5-litre V12 intended for the sports car championship in the 1964/5 era.
Julian Ghosh, a former President of the VSCC and, earlier, the last apprentice in Jaguars Competition Department commented "George represented what everybody at Jaguar Cars stood for, in an era not confused by hype or bling. We achieved a lot and learnt a bit, later producing amazing 12-cylinder road cars of which we are still justifiably proud"
The VSCC will be running races for Jaguars and suchlike from the classical era at it's SeeRed at 70 meeting on 5-6 September at Donington Park. Don't miss the last opportunity to see cars racing on the original circuit, prior to the Formula One reconfiguration.
George Mason’s funeral will be at Canley Crematorium at 1.45 pm on Tuesday 25 August, followed by a wake at the Jaguar Social Club at Browns Lane.
