Description

The famous factory Works Jaguar D-Type "OKV 2," among the most important sports racing cars of all time

Piloted by Stirling Moss and Peter Walker as the lead car for Jaguar's assault on the 1954 24 Hours of Le Mans, setting the fastest lap

Possibly the most raced Works D-Type, campaigned in top-level European races in every year between 1954 and 1958

Retained by Jaguar Works-raced and tested by legends Tony Rolt, Peter Whitehead, Mike Hawthorne, Ivor Bueb, Ninian Sanderson, and Norman Dewis

Restored by Lynx Engineering in the late 1970s, later acquired by marque expert Terry Larson and now offered from 15 years of devoted enthusiast ownership

Extensively documented with period testing and Le Mans paperwork, and an abundance of archival racing imagery

Raced at the Goodwood Revival, Classic Le Mans, and Monterey Historics-driven on the Colorado Grand, California Mille, and numerous C- and D-Type tours

A hugely important piece of international competition and automotive history
