Octane | November 2017
LE MANS D-TYPES
For drivers approaching the A5/A43 Towcester roundabout in Northamptonshire, not far from Silverstone, it must have been an unforgettable sight. And the sound must have been equally memorable. Five Jaguar D-types, blasting away from the roundabout and onto the dual
carriageway. Genuine race cars on the road. But only the true cognoscente or, if you prefer, D-type anorak – will have recognised the significance of those cars. Between them, these five account for all four of the long-nose D-types still in Europe today; all three of the Ecurie Ecosse long-nose cars; and the Ds that finished one-two-three at Le Mans in 1957. It’s to celebrate that final, stunning achievement in 1957 that we’re making a D-type pilgrimage today.
