Jaguar D-Type

Cars available for purchase in our showroom or built to order.

The D-type was the successor to the incredibly successful C-Type, but it was not an evolution; it was a revolution! It masterfully blended aviation and racing technology. The end result was a technological tour de force that could not be matched by Mercedes or Ferrari. She was as beautiful as she was fast. Her aerodynamic aluminum body slipped through the air at 180 mph. Her aircraft derived disc brakes were the best in the world and allowed her drivers to keep their foot in the throttle further down the Mulsanne straight.

Our tribute to the original D-type is faithful in its dimensions and in cockpit layout. The body is of English wheel rolled aluminum which is far superior in fitment and finish to the hammered panels offered by some other companies. The metal workmanship is so good that even in bare metal there is a near mirror finish on many of the panels. Every panel, every bracket, every louver and every fitting is custom made and hand fitted to ensure a superb level of fit and finish.

Bodies may be ordered as the short nose version with option removable short fin, long nose with the tall fin or a combination to suit your particular taste.

Every panel, every bracket, every louver and every fitting is bespoke and hand fitted to ensure a superior fit and finish. The cars are dimensionally faithful to the originals and the tubular frames capture the appearance of the originals while using later model Jaguar suspension components including the famous independent rear suspension. Adjustable dampers at all 4 corners is standard. This combines to provide exceptional road holding, superior traction and a beautiful balance of performance and ride quality.

The famous twin cam Jaguar inline 6 is lusty, velvety smooth and delivers the seamless ribbon of raw power which always leaves a smile on your face. Their light weight alloy bodies allow the large disk brakes to perform feats of deceleration which would have seemed miraculous to other vehicles of their era.

The interiors are configured as original and with new instruments matching the appearance of the originals. The seats are trimmed in your choice of leather and each car comes equipped with Willians four point racing harnesses.
