Description
For sale this beautiful example of Jaguar Type D from 1957.
Price negotiable. The car in question is completely original despite being cancelled from the Jaguar register due to a fire in the company in 1957 which caused partial damage.
Where necessary, it was rebuilt and completed in 1960 by the same people from the factory with all the original Jaguar components of the time, thus confirming its total authenticity.
Having chassis, engine and gearbox numbers found in the documentation supplied and also in some historical archives, this one, like all the other cars, was born black, then changed to a dark blue colour because it was intended for the France team and finally, by the last and current owner, in a Jaguar green colour.
The engine lubrication is "dry sump" compared to all the other replicas proposed as originals.
A very expensive but extremely advanced solution for the racing engines of the time.
Furthermore, another element that marks its originality is the "Moss" type gearbox, present in all Type D models.
Furthermore, tests were also carried out on the chassis by a company specializing in metals that define materials of the time.
In person, it expresses that unchanged charm and those emotions of a glorious icon of the time, which dominated the most important circuits around the world, worthy of being in all respects one of the holy grails of motoring.
This car was also used by drivers such as Clay Regazzoni, where he ran track and hill climb races, winning his class.
In fact, the history of the car is also made up of three chips, where the first was precisely his.
