Jaguar D-type.

Beauty and performance. A true britsh sportscar in an era when british was best.

Results below speak for themselves and will probably never be repeated.

Le Mans 1955 - 1st & 3rd
Le Mans 1956 - 1st, 4th & 6th
Le Mans 1957 - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 6th

Results above are even more remarkable when you consider that some of the cars were driven to the racetrack from the UK.

Has to be the McLaren F1 for me, even if it is a decision made by looks alone!
