The fullest account available on the design and development of Jaguar's sport racing cars and their competition histories. Because a number of these automobiles have changed hands and additional information has surfaced since the first edition was published in 1995, the book is now updated to include a "Chassis Histories" section providing data on each individual car. Based on information drawn from factory documents and interviews with top Jaguar personnel and drivers, the book also includes notes on each car's racing career. Illustrations include specially commissioned color photographs of authenticated cars and rare black-and-white racing shots.

In June 1954, at the Le Mans 24-hour race, Jaguar launched the car that had been in development for eighteen months. The D-type finished in second place in its debut race and went on to win the Le Mans 24-hour race for the next three years running, becoming Jaguar's most successful racing car. Now, just over 60 years on, Palawan presentsTHE JAGUAR D-TYPE, the first full and comprehensive history dedicated solely to one of the most beautiful racing cars ever. The book includes the story of the design and development of the D-type, as well as a racing history of both the Works cars and those belonging to private owners. The focus is on the D-type, but naturally included is the XK-SS, a road-legal sports car produced after Jaguar retired from racing, by converting 16 of the unsold, unfinished D-types. As is customary for Palawan editions, there is an extensive section setting out the history, both written and photographic, of every D-type made. Appendices include technical descriptions, road tests and biographies of the works drivers and the technical staff involved in the development and racing of the D-type.

This superb book tells the story of one of the most historically interesting of all Jaguar D-types, the XKD 504. This is a car that has raced more than any other D-type across its long and varied life, and this life is recounted in full. From its role as a works car used extensively for testing fuel injection, to two seasons of racing throughout Europe with Ecurie Ecosse, to four busy years of national competition in the hands of first Mike Salmon and then Peter Sutcliffe, it’s all here. This book provides fascinating insight into every aspect of this D-type’s history, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.
