I was driving in the Jaguar XF Sportbrake yesterday when I spotted this gorgeous Jaguar D-Type.
The D-Type was on the A404 near High Wycombe. It was doing no more than 50mph and the driver, who looked a tad on the large side, wasn't wearing goggles. Presumably 50 was all he could manage - it was about 5°C.
Later on in the day I posted this photo to Opposite Lock. One of the commentators, McMike, found a link which shows that the D-Type is in fact a replica. The car was built by Realm Engineering in 2000.
Earlier in the day @Jorge_orwell had said this on Twitter:
@speedmonkeycouk Oooh a Realm Engineering D Type. Lovely car to see on the road, loud?
