Jaguar D-TYPE XKD 606 - THE 1957 LE MANS WINNER | 1956

Jaguar dominated Le Mans in the 1950's, winning in 1951, 1953, 1955 and 1956, first with the C-types and then with the D-types. Jaguar withdrew from racing in 1956 as the factory wanted to concentrate on its production cars.

Yet five D-types appeared for the 1957 race, all privately entered. The private team Ecurie Ecosse participated with two 'dated' factory Ds. This XKD 606 was crewed by Flockhart and Bueb, and the second car was driven by Lawrence and Sanderson.
