The Jaguar D-Type, like its predecessor the C-Type, was a factory-built race car. Although it shared the basic straight-6 XK engine design (initially 3.4L and eventually upgraded to 3.8 liters in the late fifties) with the C-Type, the majority of the car was radically different. Perhaps its most ground-breaking innovation was the introduction of a monocoque chassis, which not only introduced aircraft-style engineering to competition car design, but also an aeronautical understanding of aerodynamic efficiency. The D-Type was introduced purely for competition.

At Lynx's St Leonards-on-Sea base in Sussex, original factory cars are restored alongside the 'new' D-types being built. It's hard to tell them apart. Lynx D-types are hand-built from the original Jaguar drawings — just count the rivets down the side!— and each takes a year to assemble. There's a rightness about them that's difficult to explain but impossible to mistake.

The differences are all under the skin. Behind every Lynx D- type there's a donor E-type, saved from the scrap heap to surrender its vital organs engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes. The practice is born of necessity, but it does have distinct advantages when it comes to sheer drivability, most significantly because the original car had a live rear axle (making handling a real handful on anything but the smoothest surfaces), whereas the E had independent rear suspension.

Lynx rebuilds all the donor car mechanicals and manufactures every other bit of the D itself, from the handsome alloy road wheels to the wood rim steering wheel. With triple twin-choke Weber carburetors replacing the E's original SUs, maximum output from the classic 3.8-litre straight six XK engine is rated at 285bhp (compared with 246bhp from the original D-type's 3.4-litre unit).

You want performance figures Well, when Road& Track magazine hitched up a fifth wheel to a D-type back in 1956, they recorded 0-60mph in 4.7 seconds, 0-100 in 12.1 and a top speed of 162mph (though 180mph was quite feasible with higher differential). This is a quick motor car by any standards.
