About the Jaguar D-Type #6 M. Hawthorn / I. Bueb Team Jaguar Cars Ltd 24 Hours of Le Mans 1955 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar D-Type #6 reproduces the Team Jaguar Cars Ltd entry that won the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans with Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb, opening doors and bonnet included. This is a used model, box showing storage marks, casting unaffected. A genuine race-winning subject for a Le Mans shelf.

Few British sports car victories carry as much weight as the D-Type's 1955 Le Mans win, and this AUTOart diecast reproduces the exact winning car rather than a generic period livery.

AUTOart's Race-Car Detailing and This Copy's Condition

The diecast body's zinc alloy construction lets AUTOart hold the D-Type's streamlined, aerodynamic bodywork with a crispness a plastic replica could never match, and the race number and Team Jaguar Cars Ltd livery are applied cleanly across the low, curved bonnet. Doors and bonnet open to show the period racing cockpit and engine bay built for endurance competition, a level of detail that rewards close inspection more than a shelf-distance glance. This is a used model, and its outer box shows traces of storage rather than showroom-fresh condition, though the casting itself carries no such wear. For a subject with this much genuine racing pedigree, condition matters less than getting the livery right, and AUTOart's tooling delivers that regardless.

The D-Type's Place in Le Mans History

The Jaguar D-Type's 1955 Le Mans victory, taken by Mike Hawthorn and Ivor Bueb, cemented the model's reputation as one of the defining British sports racers of the 1950s, built around an aerodynamic monocoque construction that was genuinely advanced for its era. Displayed alongside other historic GT and endurance racers, this model gives a collection a real link to Le Mans' golden age, a subject that carries weight well beyond its scale-model footprint.
