A Realm / RAM D - Type Jaguar replica, 4. 2 XK engine, Reg. No. NDX 14, in the colours of the famous Ecurie Ecosse racing team, with grey leather interior, registered on V5 as a 1969 Damiler Historic Vehicle
This very good replica of Jaguar's legendary Le Mans-winning D-Type was described by Kit Cars & Specials magazine as having 'undisputed mechanical integrity,' and was reckoned 'one of the most desirable replicas we have yet laid our hands on.' The factory claimed a performance, depending on engine tune, of 0-60mph in approximately 5. 9 seconds and a maximum speed in overdrive top approaching 150mph.
This RAM has been cherished by the last owner in 2006. Included with the car is a large ring binder filled with bills and receipts, plus some spare parts.

This car has an extensive previous history. The last owner has owned for 3 years, and the car joined his collection of classic Jaguars, during this time the car has seen little use. Prior to this the owner, again a serial collector of some very interesting cars, acquired the car from Scotland in 2006 and set about recommissioning the vehicle including adding the Triple SU carbs and gearbox rebuild amongst a plethora of other works. The previous owner to him had the vehicle for some 6 years. In total the V5 shows 6 owners
