The very first D-Type Jaguar, made in 1955, was sold at auction on Friday for £2,201,500.
The 3.4 litre racing car was bought by an enthusiast at the auction, held at Goodwood Festival of Speed in Sussex.
You'd have to pretty enthusiastic to snap up a 3.4 litre anything with today's fuel costs. With £2.2m to spare on one Jag, it would be prudent to spend a little more on car leasing so that it won't cost £30 every time you to nip to Tesco!
