Prepare to be transported back in time to the glory days of motorsport with the exquisite Amalgam Collection Jaguar D-TYPE—1956 REIMS WINNER model. This beautifully crafted 1:18-scale model pays homage to the iconic D-type that triumphed at the 12 Hours of Reims in 1956, driven to victory by the legendary duo of Duncan Hamilton and Ivor Bueb.
Hand-built and assembled by a team of skilled craftsmen, each model captures the essence of this historic race car with unparalleled attention to detail. Every aspect of the D-type’s design is faithfully reproduced, from its iconic British Racing Green exterior paint scheme to its precisely engineered parts, including castings, photo-etchings, and CNC machined metal components.
This exquisite model brings to life the D-type’s legacy as one of the most dominant cars in Le Mans history. Originally designed to conquer the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the D-type exceeded all expectations, securing victory in three of the four years it competed between 1954 and 1957. Inspired by aeronautical technology, its revolutionary aluminum alloy monocoque construction maximized aerodynamic efficiency. It paved the way for future racing innovations.
But the D-type’s success was more comprehensive than the track. With victories at iconic circuits like Aintree, Goodwood, and Silverstone, it solidified its status as a true racing legend. The Amalgam Collection JAGUAR D-TYPE – 1956 REIMS WINNER model is now available to order for $1,210.
