I photographed this car at the Aston Martin Owners Club's Autumn Historic Car Races meeting at Oulton Park in September 1992, where it took part in the 8 lap Historic Car Championship Race.
It's Andrew Baber's 3,781cc straight-6 1956 Jaguar D-Type and it was driven in the race by Gary Pearson. The chassis number is XKD 530 which is a car that was originally supplied to Kurt Lincoln of Helsinki and was raced also by Timo Makinen amongst others. After being campaigned in Finland for several years, including participation in ice racing, the car came into the hands of Nigel Moores in the mid-1960s. It required a complete rebuild, and at that time different parts of the car were used to create two D-Types, both bearing the XKD 530 identification. This car has the registration number XSV 979, and the other car is PAS 645.
