Exceptional 1955 Jaguar D-Type replica by Lynx. All alloy, tubular frame.
Rebuilt to the highest standard of quality and authenticity.
XJ6 4.2l carburetted engine by VSE, 280 bhp. 5-speed synchronized Getrag.
Immediately available in France with its French registration.
One of the most iconic cars of all-time, the Jaguar D-Type is nowadays one of the world’s most sought-after race cars. Since the 1970s, Lynx made it its business to restore the original cars to their ancient glory. Using the same tooling, Lynx started to build D-Type replicas in the late 1970s.
The car we are offering for sale today is an exact replica of the original car, using a tubular frame. Built using the same techniques as Jaguar originally used, the Lynx D-Type is a faithful, all-alloy replica of these glorious race cars.
The rest of the car was rebuilt with the highest respect of the authentic components, yet using modern safety elements necessary to improve safety.
The engine comes from a donor Jaguar XJ6. This series III 4.2l engine was rebuilt and converted to carburetors by VSE in the U.K. Setup in VSE’s “Clubsport” specifications, this engine now delivers 280 bhp on 45 Weber carburetors and is very well balanced. The gearbox is a 5-speed synchronized Getrag unit. The car also received a stainless steel exhaust system and is equipped with a long ratio rear axle.
The suspension elements also come from the donor XJ6, which is obviously more modern and yields greater comfort of use than if the elements were from an E-Type. This Lynx D-type therefore has independent suspension with dual rear shocks.
Since rebuild, the car covered a mere 650 miles, enough to thoroughly verify every dynamic aspect of the vehicle and ensure it worked as expected. A service was carried out when the car reached 500 miles, including the replacement of all fluids and filters.
Aesthetically, originality was yet again the key word. The polished British Racing Green paintwork was done by a Jaguar main dealer, and no decals were used. Just like the 1955 Le Mans winning car, which also carried number 6, these roundels and numbers are hand painted. The headlights are original Lucas “Le Mans 24h” units.
This lovely Lynx D-Type is a unique car in this condition and Le Mans setup. It offers the looks and performance of the original racer for a fraction of the cost. This wonderful 1955 Jaguar D-Type by Lynx is immediately available in France with its French registration.
