Description:

Designed to win the Le Mans 24-hour race, the slippery D-Type was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Sharing the straight-six XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor its structure however was radically different. Innovative monocoque construction and aerodynamic efficiency integrated aviation technology in a sports racing car.

Built to full FIA specification with valid FIA HTP papers it was raced in the Woodcote Trophy at the 2017 Silverstone Classic and participated in the Salon Prive Tour D’Elegance. The car comes with a German road registration.
