On 11 July 2008 at The Goodwood Festival of Speed in Chichester, international fine art auctioneers Bonhams set a new world record auction price for any Jaguar motor car.
The 1955 Jaguar D-type Sports Racing Car ‘XKD509’ was sold to a British buyer for a whopping £2,201,500 ($4,4 million). This figure betters the previous world record of $3,396,475, set in 1999.
The 3.4-litre car was the first Jaguar D-Type to go into and its price, when sold new in 1955, was a princely £2,500 ($5,000).
