Cockpit of the Cat that Won LeMans 3 times
Icon of speed and beauty in 1. Designed specifically 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-6 XK engine and many mechanical components with its C-Type predecessor, its structure however was radically different. ... D-Types won Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957, The high point was '57 when they finished 1rst, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th.......kindly letting a Ferrari slip in at 5th. And these were all private entries, as Jaguar had ceased factory racing. Amazing car in every mechanical and ascetic way!!
