Description1956 Jaguar D type Roadster (21999553412).jpg
The Jaguar D-Type is a sports racing car that was produced by Jaguar Cars Ltd. between 1954 and 1957. Although it shares several components, including the basic straight-6 XK engine design (initially 3.4 litres and uprated to 3.8 litres in the late fifties), with its predecessor the C-Type, the majority of the car is radically different.
D-Types won the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1955, 1956 and 1957
Once they had finished racing them, the remaining chassis were used for the XKSS.
Total D-Type production is thought to have included 18 factory team cars, 53 customer cars, and 16 XKSS versions.
Engine; 2400cc 6 cyl and later 3800.
