1955 Jaguar D-Type

This car competed in the Champagne Charles Heidsieck Sports Car Race at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1993.

It's the 1955 Jaguar D-Type of Willie Tuckett and has the 6-cylinder inline 3,442cc XK6 engine designed by chief engineer William Heynes. It is chassis #XKD517, a car at one time owned by Henry Taylor and later went to the Border Reivers Racing Team in Scotland where it was driven, amongst others, by a young Jim Clark.

Jaguar D-Type

I photographed this car leaving the paddock with a group of cars in rather inclement weather conditions to take part in a practice session at the Coys International Historic Festival Meeting at Silverstone in July 1997.

It's Willie Tuckett's 1956 Jaguar D-Type, chassis number XKD517, a car once owned by the Border Reivers racing team where it was driven by Jim Clark amongst others.
