Equipment
RHD. Polished Dunlop centerlock wheels, driver's head fairing and fin, Lucas LeMans headlights, wraparound Plexiglas windscreen, white side exhaust.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
First owned by Bernie Ecclestone, then in his early guise as a used car dealer. Raced in the U.K. by Peter Blond and Jonathan Sieff. Engine number matches the chassis plate and build record. Thick repaint over old paint, sound fully upholstered interior. Clean, orderly engine compartment and chassis. Not used recently.
Market commentary
This D-type was sold by RM in Monterey in 1998 for $1,018,961 in largely original condition, now repainted in its original color. A sound customer D-type that will be usable after thorough freshening and inspection but without significant international racing history, the amount offered is reasonable for its history and condition. But, a red D-type?
