Brand new 1957 Jaguar D-Types

shoeless

Riffin'
May be old news, but I just heard about it today on the radio. Jaguar re-created and built 9 1957 D-types using original methods like hand rolling the body panels. They all sold as soon as the announcement was made for a cool 1 million pounds, which is about $1.2 mil. Original '57s go as high as $20m.

Beautiful, but a million bucks for a deathtrap car you can't drive anywhere seems a bit frivolous.

i like how the exhaust pipes (without mufflers) exit on the passengers side. so when the wife starts nagging, you just push harder on the "loud" pedal. :grin:
