D type with 172 and 182 cups

Had a D type in at work today and we couldn't resist getting some pictures before bringing the Jag inside.

Ooft that's a couple of quid there!

Very nice indeed ?

Easily one of my favourite cars ever!




The D Type, ha!

hope you had him in the twisties.

Ha ha didn't drive with it, it is road legal though, and on crossplies against R888's I don't think it would keep up with mine in the bends. Would f**k off on the straights though, a fairly hot engine in that one.

Damon Hill once famously said " it makes my willy tingle!" When being taken round in one by his dad.
Head are pretty special on these aswell...

 

[James363]

Trust me when I say this is a VERY special engine. We designed it, and it is pretty full on.

 

[cat171]

How much is it worth? Several mill, ten mill ?

 

[James363]

Yeah, I'd say that's the sort of ballpark. I'm not sure how much I can really say about it, obviously the owners of these things are usually pretty against information getting out, so I'm keen to keep most of the details under wraps, except the somewhat rare sight of 1*2's in the same shot as D-types haha

doubt the owners on cliosport forum tbf. spill the beans.

True that, but a couple of the guys I work with are on here for sure haha. There's not much to spill in all honesty, except to say the engine's had a lot of work, and custom work at that. The values of these things are always difficult to work out anyway, it's mostly dependent on how much someone wants it. If you've got a specific question that isn't how much power it makes I'll try and answer it if I can though!
