1960 Jaguar D-Type

I took this photograph at Aintree at, I think, the August Bank Holiday meeting on 7 August 1960.

It's an Ecurie Ecosse D-Type Jaguar in the rather ridiculous looking guise adopted to comply with the FIA Appendix J Regulations that specified a minimum height for the windscreen and a mandatory luggage space. You can barely see the added luggage space here, but there's an unsightly bump on the rear of the car next to the tail fin, and you can just see the top of it over the driver's door. I don't know who drove the car at this meeting, but it took part in the Le Mans 24 Hour race that year driven by Ron Flockhart and Bruce Halford, retiring after 168 laps with a broken crankshaft. It appears to be chassis XKD606.
