With Jaguar Motors currently imploding, we'll harken back to when they stood for performance and design excellence. When you saw that ominous dorsal fin in your rear view mirror, it was time to get out of the water and let it pass. Malcom Sayer upgraded his Type C to meet the oncoming Mercedes 300S silver arrows. This 1955 Le Mans winner never got to prove its superiority after Mercedes-Benz pulled all their cars after the horrific crash that killed 70 people, and with Mercedes halting their program, the Type D also won the following 2 years. The Type D was finally done in by FIA regulations that left it having to use an unreliable engine.

Check the battery in the engine compartment. Has anyone ever seen that configuration before?

@rich-sufficool - Since you pointed it out, it does seem as though there is a direct connection between the terminals. Yes, a bit odd.

Another beauty by AA, I don't have the 1/18, I do have the AA 1/43 of this one and it's just as nice only smaller.
