Re: Old Street Scenes
 - [/ QUOTE ] 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

Could be 1939, the last year of the races before war broke out, but it could be postwar, 1946-49. Cars all look pre-war though.
