The Jaguar D-Type almost won at its debut in Le Mans in 1954.The D-Type raced to victory a year later. It was the start of a famous run of victories at Le Mans. The D-Type is still a favorite today thanks to its elegant design. John Harper bought his D-Type a couple of years ago in New Zealand and brought it to England. It was a lucky buy. The car was an original and in mint condition. One of the few cars that Jaguar built specially to order for a customer.
