Designed specifically to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the exemplary Jaguar D-type was extremely successful in its mission, becoming one of the most dominant Le Mans cars in history. Victorious in three of the four years it competed, the D-type inspired the legendary E-type road car and eventually became the road-going XKSS.

Produced between 1954 and 1956, the D-type shared the same basic straight 6 XK engine and many mechanic components as its elder sister, the C-type, but was structurally entirely different. The aviation industry inspired monocoque construction and aerodynamic efficiency was a marked departure from the C-type’s space frame chassis and softer body design and was considered revolutionary at the time.

In its debut season in 1954, the D-type, driven by Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt fell short of winning Le Mans to Ferrari by just a single lap. The following year, Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb took the chequered flag, giving the D-type its maiden Le Mans title. The event, however, was marred by the deadliest accident in the history of motorsport that not only prompted their closest competitors Mercedes-Benz to retire from the race, but caused them to leave motorsport altogether for at least two decades. In 1956 Jaguar claimed another victory, as the small Edinburgh-based Ecurie Ecosse team saw their D-type, driven by Ninian Sanderson and Ron Flockhart, pip the pursuing Aston Martin, piloted by Stirling Moss and Peter Collins, to the chequered flag by a single lap. Jaguar pulled out of motorsport as a works team at the end of the season, but privateer teams still represented the D-type and Ecurie Ecosse won again in 1957, sealing a D-type hattrick, raced by previous winners Flockhart and Bueb. They were convincingly victorious, finishing eight laps ahead of their sister car driven by Sanderson and John ‘Jock’ Lawrence. D-types dominated the leaderboard that year, suffering no retirements and taking five of the top six places, cementing its place in Le Mans history as one of the most successful cars.

This model is a perfect 1:8 scale recreation of the 1957 Le Mans winning D-type, as raced to victory by British duo Ron Flockhart and Ivor Bueb. It has been handcrafted and finished in our workshops with the co-operation and assistance of Jaguar regarding original finishes, materials, archive imagery and drawings. The use of supremely accurate digital scanning of the original car has allowed us to perfectly recreate every detail at scale. Furthermore, it has undergone detailed scrutiny by both engineering and design teams to ensure complete accuracy of representation.

The Jaguar D-type XKD 1957 Le Mans Winner is limited to only 99 pieces.

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.
