Jaguar D-Type : Fine Lines

The pristine D-Type Jaguar sits parked on the lush, green grounds of the Earl of March's estate. Its taught aluminum skin, painted a sober shade of blue with large white dots (where a number orr two could be added), glisten in the afternoon sun. Not an everyday sight, but the annual Goodwood Festival of Speed, a three-day time warp featuring some of the finest and rarest racing machinery ever built, isn't your everyday event.Goodwood is the kind of place wher the public -- who visit from all over the world -- can get up close and personal with untold millions of dollars worth of race cars, from turn-of-the-century horseless carriages, to present-day Formula One screamers. You also get to watch them zoom up the mile-long driveway in front of the Earl's stately mansion as their famous-name drivers, both active and retired, vie for class honors in the elapsed-time department.
