1955 Jaguar D-Type

This is a photograph I took just outside the paddock at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in September 1986.
I don't know what it was doing there, but it's a 1955 Jaguar D-Type with a registration number ending in '....4 RW' and the only D-Type which matches that is XKD505 (774 RW). It doesn't appear to be a replica, so it seems to be the car with which Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb won the 1955 Le Mans 24 Hour Race.
