This is the first of the six longnose D-Type Jaguar works team cars from 1956. This car, chassis number XKD601, was built with lightweight panels and fuel injection and first ran at Goodwood in February of 1956. After a few non-finishes at Sebring and the Nurburgring Mike Hawthorn and Paul Frere came in second at the 12 Hour race at Reims. Duncan Hamilton bought the car from Jaguar at the end of 1956, but it was prepared by the Jaguar works for Le Mans in 1957 (it had the 3.8 liter carburetor engine) and it finished in sixth place. A 3-liter engine was fitted for the 1958 Le Mans race when it was driven by Hamilton and Ivor Bueb. Sadly the car crashed when it was in second place with only four hours to go to the finish. Rebuilt by Jaguar, it was sold to private owners and is now restored to its 1956 specification.
