Jaguar D Type
A rare Jaguar D-Type ( the seventh ever made) is under the hammer in Paris this month.
The car has a rich history and a connection to Australasia having raced and won Bathurst in 1956.
Undeniably one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever designed with its hand-built British Racing green chassis and iconic long nose this model has an impeccably maintained interior with green leather seats and an original wooden steering wheel, vintage dash and dials.
The 1955 Jaguar D-Type is set to be auctioned at RM Sotheby’s in Paris on February 5 and is expected to sell for between €5,900,000 and €6,400,000.
