Such a price purchases more than just a beautiful antique automobile, but a piece of history.
Its history that separates your standard old Jaguar from an icon like this.
And what a history it is.
This 1955 Jaguar D-jot down rolled out of the factory 59 years ago this February.
TheD-Typehad done just that in its short history.
This is where the story of this vehicle gets complicated.
Years later, it was to be sold again.
But in two parts, questions of its authenticity arose.
So the owner reunified the split cars into one vehicle, restored to its original inspiration from 1956.
Either way, its a win/win for this pricey, historic Jaguar.
