Another brilliant video.  The D-type was one of the most beautiful cars ever made with the performance to match its wonderful looks.  Never mind the E-type, the D was the real thing!

Thanks again, Stig.

Stig, wonderful my friend, I love the E-type, but the D-type is just as beautiful and sounds as beautiful, A+ vid.

Great, Stig. Thanks. Still one of the most beautiful pieces of automotive sculpture ever, and the first love of most of our generation of gearheads.

Outstanding vid there Stig, I am not much of a fan of the old......I like new electronic things...but that vid ACTUALLY got me to appreciate the sheer beauty and class of that wonderful D-Type Jag....

I am pleased you all liked it.
I was in charge of exhibiting these fine specimens at the factory.Works visits were a nightmare.School outings were the worse,anything that was not tied down was taken,i remember a lad trying to get the rev counter out of a carto take back for his dad.The cups and medals were kept in a locked  display case,and was open game for the kids.
I remember always having to send out the cups and  some of the medals, to be cleaned on a regular basis as they tarnished very quickley being silver.

Beautiful Stig, beautiful, had my headphones on, still trying to find my brain.

The D Type IS one of the most beautiful cars ever made without a doubt. I love I love them and after you've seen one in the metal you wonder what all the fuss the E Type gets is all about.
I also never really understood why the C Type was so revered until I saw one. Pictures just don't do these vehicles any favours whatsoever.

[Ian]

Oh no RedFive, I admit the D Type is beautiful, but so also is the E Type(soft top) beautiful too, one of my all time most wanted cars

Nice one Stig, best E type(cabriolet) I saw was many years ago, it was primrose yellow, Clarkson would say "thats a bit ginger beer ", but it looked absolutely wonderful.
