Iconic 1954 Jaguar D-Type ‘OKV 2' to Headline Broad Arrow's Amelia Auction
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty company, is set to showcase one of the most significant sports racing cars ever built, the 1954 Jaguar D-Type Works Competition Car 'OKV 2,' at its 2025 Amelia Auction. This masterpiece of automotive history, with chassis number XKD 403, is expected to fetch between $6.5 million and $8.5 million when it crosses the block without reserve on March 7–8 at the Ritz-Carlton Amelia Island. 'OKV 2' holds an extraordinary place in motorsport history. Built as the team lead for Jaguar's ambitious 1954 24 Hours of Le Mans campaign, this D-Type was piloted by legendary drivers Stirling Moss and Peter Walker. It stunned the racing world by achieving a record top speed of 172.97 mph down the Mulsanne Straight and setting the fastest time during practice. Though brake issues cut its Le Mans race short, 'OKV 2' continued to compete in high-profile European races through 1958, earning the distinction of being one of the most raced Works D-Types. The Jaguar D-Type revolutionized sports car engineering with its lightweight, aircraft-inspired monocoque construction and aerodynamic design. The innovations contributed to Jaguar's hat trick of Le Mans victories in the mid-1950s, securing the model's legendary status. Following its Works career, 'OKV 2' passed into private ownership and continued racing under Jaguar PR man Bob Berry. After a series of successful seasons, it eventually entered a restoration phase with Lynx Engineering in the late 1970s. Since then, the car has been meticulously preserved and has appeared in prestigious historic racing events, including the Goodwood Revival and Le Mans Classic. Broad Arrow's 2025 Amelia Auction will also feature other automotive icons, including a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider Competizione and a 1975 Lancia Stratos HF Stradale. With its storied history, iconic design, and racing pedigree, 'OKV 2' is poised to be the crown jewel of the auction.
