My dad had an Etype so he really likes the Jags so I sent him this picture and he replied .........



"Thanks for the picture, the white and blue D's belonged to Briggs Cunningham and are in US racing colours. I think the photo was taken in 57. In 58 and 59 he raced Lister Jags. He later raced Bird Cage Maserati's and I have slides of the team cars at Elkhart Lake. The yellow car may have been driven by Masten Gregory under Belgium colours. "

Dad


Than I got this later
"Hi Rob

I found more information on Cunningham's D Jags. He owned 6 of them,1955 chassis XKD406 ,1956 chassis XKD 506,507,508,525 and 605, so all 4 in the photo may be his cars."

Dad

The photo was taken in '57 at the Watkins Glen Grand Prix-

There were 3 Cunningham entries -

#60 - driven by Walt Hansgen who won that day
#61 - driven by Ed Crawford
#62 - driven by Briggs Cunningham

The yellow #17 was Jack Easleys

George just straightened the panels and ran it half in primer. NHRA didn't like it, but that's the way it goes.
