Jaguar D-Type
The legendary Le Mans winning D-Type was designed by the British aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer, who also penned the C and E-Types.
Artist Notes:
"The D-Type has long been a favorite of mine. I'm a big fan of WWII era airplanes and I enjoy building plastic models of them. The driving compartment of the D-Type is like the cockpit of a fighter plane and its construction very much like the fuselage of an airplane. And of course there's that tailfin. All these features make the D-Type a road-going airplane to me, and when I shot the picture I knew I'd got the right subject for another piece. I also had a lot of fun showing the carburetors through the open nose."
