It's the 1956 Jaguar D-Type,
chassis number XKD603, of Sir Anthony Bamford, said to be the most original of
the long-nose Jaguars in existence. It started as a works car in 1956, but when
Jaguar dropped out of racing the following year it was sold to Ecurie Ecosse,
where it received its RSF 303 registration number. The car finished second in
the 1957 Le Mans 24 Hour race when Ecurie Ecosse D-Types were first and second,
and three more D-Types finished third, fourth and sixth. The car was driven in
this Silverstone race by Frank Sytner.
