Jaguar D-Type .



Here's two drawings of the D type by Christian Henry Tavard.   He was a technical draftsman, artist and editor-in-chief of the French magazine L’Automobiliste till October 1987.  More of his work here.
The D type was built from 1954 to1957, during which time 71-75 were built.

I bought a Matchbox model D-type from a jumble sale; it was BRG (green). Showed it to my dad, who said, "That's the wrong colour - it should be Saltire blue!". I also once saw Ninian Sanderson doing parade laps of Ingliston circuit in his Le Mans - winning D-type. The winning cars were run by an Edinburgh garage called Ecurie Ecosse.
