This superb book tells the story of one of the most historically interesting of all Jaguar D-types – a car that has raced more than any other D-type. The long and varied life of XKD 504 is recounted in full, from its role as a works car used extensively for testing fuel injection, to two seasons of racing throughout Europe with Ecurie Ecosse, to four busy years of national competition in the hands of first Mike Salmon and then Peter Sutcliffe. This book provides fascinating insight into every aspect of this D-type’s history, supported by a fine collection of period photographs. Any Jaguar enthusiast will enjoy this addition to the ‘Great Cars’ series.

Key content

  • Life as a works car, including its important testing role and two races in 1956.
  • Two seasons with Ecurie Ecosse, including sixth place in the 1957 ‘Monzanapolis’, fifth place in the 1958 Goodwood Tourist Trophy and a trip to Sebring.
  • In the period 1959–61 Mike Salmon raced XKD 504 45 times, culminating in victory in the Autosport Three Hours at Snetterton.
  • Raced through 1962 by Peter Sutcliffe, who crashed heavily in XKD 504’s first outing of 1963.
  • This D-type’s active life in historic racing is also covered, including its long period in the ownership of Neil Corner, connoisseur collector and enthusiastic historic racer.
  • Nearly 300 period photographs, many previously unpublished, supported by a portfolio of specially commissioned location photography.

    捷豹轻型E-type-1963勒芒24小时耐力赛款-做旧版 生产中

    捷豹轻型E-type-1963勒芒24小时耐力赛款-做旧版 1:8 SCALE

    限量5台布里斯托尔的工匠参考档案图像精确地应用做旧细节模型附赠原车在1963年勒芒赛场上的高品质图片1:8比例模型，超过55厘米/22英寸长每个模型都是由一小队工匠手工制作和组装的用最优质的材料制成开发模型需花费3500多个小时每个做旧模型制作需400多个小时数以千计的精密工程零件:复模、照相蚀刻和数控加工的金属组件使用原始真车的数字扫描数据和捷豹提供的油漆代码制作 此模型限量5台，仅剩一台。 我们很高兴推出1:8比例的新款旧化模型：仅限量5台的捷豹轻型E-type(XKE),该模型原型是1963年6月15日和16日由美国二人组Briggs Cunningham和Bob Grossman在1963年勒芒24小时耐力赛上驾驶的15号车。每一台模型均由我们在布里斯托尔的工匠精心手绘，展现了在萨特赛道上经历了24小时的激烈比赛后，这辆匆忙修好的赛车车身脏污的每一个细节。 我们的工匠使用档案图像精确地应用了做旧细节，以确保完成的模型是1963年完成比赛的真实汽车的完美复制品。每台模型都附赠有赛车冲破终点时的照片，该照片由Amalgam从Motorsport Images图库中精心挑选。基础模型是使用捷豹提供的数据开发的，该公司还仔细检查了最终的原型，以确保模型的完全准确性。 捷豹E-type从来就不是用来比赛的。它的车身固然是从C-type和D-type赛车流线型的空气动力学外形中汲取灵感，它的单壳底盘和盘式刹车都是在勒芒赛车上磨练过的，但E-type创新的独立后悬架设计得更适合B级公路，而3.8升直列六缸XK发动机被调整得更容易在低速行驶。由于对E型车的需求超过了捷豹 Brown's Lane工厂的生产能力，E-type几乎不需要参加比赛来获取知名度。确实是公路汽车生产优先于赛车运动的回归。 尽管在1961年国际汽联为量产跑车创造了GT类别，E-type完美符合要求。 由于没有足够的时间和资源从头开始打造一款专用的竞赛跑车，捷豹想出了一个计划，用铝制面板和XK引擎的改良版，用铝块代替常规的铸铁，制造一款超轻型的E-type。 轻型E-Type的设计部分灵感来自于早期一次性的”低阻力双门轿车”概念，由捷豹的先驱空气动力学家马尔科姆·塞耶在1962年提出。 它使用铝板减轻重量，铆接和粘在单体壳上提高底盘的刚度。随着挡风玻璃的快速倾斜和比标准E-type更曲线化的车尾，空气动力得到了优化，同时拆除了内饰所有不必要的舒适功能。 除了挡风玻璃，其余的玻璃都换成了有机玻璃。 1963年，捷豹推出了一款限量版的轻型E-type跑车，车身采用了更多的铝，并在赛车规格的350马力3.8升XK发动机上采用了轻型铝块。 这款车是基于E-type敞篷车，配备了硬顶作为标准款。 即将面世的轻型E-type使它伟大的竞争对手恩佐法拉利非常担忧并随即着手研发更轻和更强大的法拉利250 GTO。 当时，捷豹计划生产18辆E-type，实际只生产了12辆。2014年捷豹决定使用剩下的6辆原始轻型E-type车架号来生产最后这6辆汽车。 最初的两款专门制造的轻型E-type被运往美国参加1963年的赛百灵12小时耐力赛。 埃德·莱斯利和弗兰克·莫里尔整体名列第七,Kjell Qvale获得小组第一，而布鲁斯·麦克拉伦和沃尔特·汉斯根又跑了一圈整体名列第八，布里格斯·坎宁安获得了小组第二。 那年晚些时候的勒芒赛，有三辆车参加。 变速箱问题和一场严重的事故在前六小时内浇灭了人们的期望，使三辆车中的两辆退出了比赛，而由于刹车问题导致的两个小时的延迟意味着剩下的Briggs Cunningham只能总体排名第九位，小组排名第二。 在1963年的非耐力赛中，结果要好得多，Graham Hill在弯弯曲曲的英国斯内特顿、古德伍德和银石赛道取得了胜利，在这些赛道上，3.8升直六XK引擎的扭矩可以比法拉利的3升V12更快地推动捷豹冲出弯道。 尽管轻型E-type从未与勒芒和赛百灵的C-type和D-type的成功相媲美，但这款车仍然是战后英国最著名的赛车之一，彻底赢得了"GTO杀手"的声誉，成为捷豹经典车型中真正的稀有品。 这个精美的1:8比例模型原型是1963年6月15日和16日由美国二人组Briggs Cunningham和Bob Grossman在1963年勒芒24小时耐力赛上驾驶的15号捷豹轻型E-type(XKE)。 坎宁安曾在1960年驾驶捷豹E2A原型车参加比赛。1962年，他在勒芒首次驾驶标准E型车获得第四名，与罗伊·萨尔瓦多里(Roy Salvadori)并列小组第一，领先于彼得·萨金特(Peter Sargent)和彼得·拉姆斯登(Peter...

    HOW IT WORKS

    SplitIt®
    Simply select Splitit at checkout and enter your card details
    No credit checks required but the total amount is held in reserve on your card to ensure payment
    Your first payment is taken immediately. The rest will be paid automatically in monthly installments

    EXAMPLE

    Order Total
    £2000
    Pay Today
    £500 (Total of £1500 held on card)
    2ND INSTALMENT
    £500 (Total of £1000 held on card)
    3RD INSTALMENT
    £500 (Total of £500 held on card)
    4TH INSTALMENT
    £500 (Total of £0 held on card)
    IMPORTANT NOTE:
    • A PAYMENT AUTHORISATION FOR THE OUTSTANDING AMOUNT OF YOUR PURCHASE WILL BE HELD DURING THE FULL PLAN PERIOD as security. This hold will be charged ONLY in the event a monthly payment is declined (the authorisation hold might appear as "Pending" on your credit card bill).
    • You must maintain a sufficient "Required Available Credit" amount on your credit card for both the full outstanding amount of your purchase and the monthly payment during the full period of the plan.
    • Your credit card issuer may charge you interest on amounts charged to your credit card unless you pay Your credit card balance in full each month.
    • In case we do not manage to reauthorize the remaining amount of the transaction, you will receive a notice email. In that case, you will have to promptly update your credit card details. In case your bank still refuses to reauthorize the outstanding amount, we will have to charge the full outstanding amount of the transaction at once from your credit card.
    Splitit offers you a flexible way of paying for items in instalments, completely interest-free, by reserving the available line of credit on your credit card. Then, each month, according to your payment plan, Splitit collects the instalment amount and reissues the authorisation request for the remaining balance.

    It is important to note that payments are still charged on your existing credit card. Splitit simply provides you the method to do this and information about the instalments. Here is an example of how the service works for a customer buying a £2,000 model in 4 instalments of £500 each:

    Splitit obtains authorisation from the credit card company for the full purchase amount of £2,000. This is not a charge on the card; it is simply reserving £2,000 from the customer’s line of credit.
    - The credit card company then charges the customer £500 for the first payment.
    - During the second month, Splitit requests authorisation for the outstanding purchase amount of £1,500, and charges the customer the second installment of £500.
    - This authorisation and charge process continues until the full £2,000 is collected - in this case, for 4 months.
    No, this is an interest-free payment method with no additional fixed fees, service fees, interest or hidden fees of any kind.
    No, your item will be processed after the first initial instalment and delivered as normal upon passing our Quality Control check at Head Office.
    - You can pay using Splitit with a valid Mastercard or Visa
    Nothing, no credit check is required if you use a Splitit instalment plan and there is no impact on your credit score. All the bank sees is the individual instalment charges each month. If one of your payment authorisations is declined, there is still no affect on your credit rating; it is simply a declined charge. The denial would simply accelerate payment of the remaining balance (unless you provide a different card which was not denied).
    You can pay using Splitit with a Mastercard or Visa. Debit cards, American Express and pre-paid cards are not accepted.
    The instalments appear on your statement as individual charge items with the name of 'Amalgam Collection'. These payments will appear monthly according to your instalment plan, with the same charge amount each time.
