The very first production Jaguar D-Type to roll off the line in 1955 will star in Bonhams’ Goodwood Festival of Speed sale on 11 July.

The 1955 3.4-litre Jaguar D-Type Sports-Racing Two-Seater, chassis no. XKD 509, was raced in the USA by Lou Brero Sr in 1956 – 57. It was subsequently preserved for many years in the magnificent – and discreet - private collection of the late Nigel Moores (nephew of the creator of the Littlewoods business empire), and is owned today by his son James Moores.

Estimate £2,000,000 – 2,500,000 www.bonhams.com
