CHASSIS XKD 551
Among the final production D-Types to emerge from Coventry before the February 1957 factory fire, chassis XKD 551 was dispatched on 12 June 1956 as a short-nose example-measuring approximately 19-cm shorter than the succeeding long-nose variants.
The accompanying Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust Certificate documents state that the D-Type was completed wearing body number H 2051, finished in British Racing Green with Suede Green interior trim, and equipped with engine serial number E 2070-9.
In preparation for the sale, a comprehensive history report and physical inspection of chassis XKD 551 was recently completed by the respected U.K.
restoration and race preparation outfit CKL Developments Ltd., which includes a detailed known timeline of events from new to present.
The report notes that chassis XKD 551 was initially retained by Jaguar Cars Ltd.
