Description
1985 JAGUAR TYPE D by RAM Chassis no. P1B9027BW • Inspired by the Jaguar Type D • 3.4-litre Jaguar XK engine • Photographic restoration dossier • French RAM vehicle registration document Succeeding the Type C, the Jaguar Type D made its mark on the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans with three consecutive victories, from 1955 to 1957. Designed by Malcolm Sayer, it is distinguished by its aerodynamics and rear wing, a silhouette recreated here by the manufacturer RAM. Built in April 1985, this example is fitted with a 3.4-litre Jaguar XK engine, powered by three Weber 45 DCOE carburettors. Acquired as a wreck by its owner in 2015, it has undergone a restoration starting from the chassis, with a photographic record documenting each stage of the process. The work included, in particular, the fitting of an aluminium radiator with a fan, lowered suspension, a fire-extinguishing system and the replacement of the brake pads. Work continued with the fitting of an electronic ignition system and the tuning of the carburettors in 2019, the refurbishment of the steering rack in 2020, followed by the replacement of the master cylinder and clutch slave cylinder in July 2023. Carried out by the owner and his mechanic, these works are not accompanied by invoices. With its Le Mans-inspired lines and Jaguar mechanics, this recreation, by RAM, will appeal to enthusiasts wishing to relive, for the duration of a drive, the atmosphere of 1950s sports cars.   1985 — JAGUAR D-TYPE by RAM Chassis no.
