The format for today's Time for Tea? will be familiar to anyone that's seen the
Porsche 904/6Carrera GTS vid
; Cadwell Park, a beautiful historic racer and plenty of noise. And who wouldn't want to see another of those?
The Jaguar D-Type featured here was primed to be the star of RM Auctions London sale. The first long-nose D-Type and a former Jaguar Works car, it entered the auction with an estimate of £5.5-£6.5 million. Despite a prolonged bidding process and some friendly encouragement from those behind the gavel, the highest bid of £4m failed to meet the reserve. Cheap skates.
Still, that presumably means the D-Type is still available so every cloud and all that. Anyone have a few spare pennies for a PH track toy?
Back in the real world, take a minute (94 seconds to be precise) to imagine what it would be like to track a D-Type. The driver here clearly got rather caught up in the moment too, dropping a wheel onto the grass out of a corner. Kudos to that man for the commitment!
