1956 Jaguar D-Type 'Shortnose'

Last week I had the luxury of spending an afternoon at CKL Developments, who specialise in classic and historic Jaguars. CKL are renowned for their incredible talent in restoring historic racing cars with their original panels and parts. 

I felt privileged that they gave me the opportunity to be driven in the most spectacular original 1956 Jaguar D-type Shortnose. Often regarded as one of the most desirable of historic racing Jaguars, this D-Type was fantastic to take a spin in on a sunny afternoon. 

T'was the night before 72nd Members Meeting

It was the eve of the 72nd Members Meeting and you couldn't of kept myself and a few of my photographers away! There was much excitement at the Motor Circuit for the special weekend that was about to commence; as the cars filled the paddocks and the drivers were briefed there was a certain charge in the air.
