Jaguar Type D "Wingfield" 1979 aluminium - rare example (n°12/25) - beautiful history
Those in the know will surely recognise the striking resemblance to the Ecurie Ecosse D-Type Jaguars that won Le Mans in 1957. This car, which was directly inspired by them, is one of the few (25 in total) to have been built by Bryan Wingfield (Deetype Replica Ltd.), renowned for the quality of his work.
Rarer than the Lynx, the Deetype Replica with its rigid Salisbury deck is also recognised as being certainly the closest replica to the original D-Type.
This Jaguar is number 12 in the series, with an all-aluminium body painted Scottish blue. The upholstery is in beautifully patinated red leather. The engine is a Jaguar XK 3.8 block and the car is originally fitted in a configuration very specific to the original D-Type:
D-Type camshafts,
3 Weber 45 DCOE 13 twin carburettors,
Borg & Beck competition clutch,
4-speed synchro gearbox,
Dunlop 15" 6J wheels,
Salisbury rigid axle.
4-piston front calipers,
Aluminium expansion tank,
Etc...
This is a car for connoisseurs, as enjoyable on the road as on the track, powerful and surprisingly efficient! It has a French CG and its CT will be done for sale.

The history of this car is known from the outset, the car having been ordered new in silver grey for Chris Craft (an English driver), it spent time in Florida before passing into the hands of Chris Bauer who kept it for 5 years before parting with it.
A few years later, regretting having sold his car, which he considered to be the best Type D replica, he bought it back and repainted it in Scottish blue.
In 2003, the car was bought by Frédéric Novo, a renowned Bugatti specialist, who took the opportunity to rebuild the engine from scratch and then sold it to the current owner in 2007.
