Jaguar D-type

One of the most iconic cars that Jaguar ever made was the D-Type that was originally produced in the 1950s. The last o f the original D-Types was made all the way back in 1957. It turns out that Jaguar had originally planned to build 100 D-Type models, but only completed 75 of them.

When it comes to Jaguars, perhaps the most iconic of any racing car it has ever built was the Jaguar D-Type Works track car. The vehicle you see here is absolutely pristine and has the sort of provenance that makes it insanely expensive.

My name is “Stirling” and I’m an automotive journalist. Needless to say, I feel an odd and almost certainly not reciprocated kinship with motorsport legend Sir Stirling Moss. Because of this, and because this car is awesome, I have a deep seated fetish love for the Jaguar D-Type and the XKSS that was derived from it.
