 DESCRIPTION

Thank you Hot Wheels for this delightful addition to the diecast world. The Jaguar 'D' type had been done by Matchbox and Tootsietoys but both of these were offered in the 1950-60's. Not only did Hot Wheels do a fine job with the scale and detail, the 'D' type is in correct Ecurrie Ecosse racing colors, right down to the white nose stripes. This car looks like the 1957 Le Mans winner.
