Hi, as i am a Ken Miles enthusiast i am interested in the Jaguar D Type that he co drove with owner Carlyle Blackwell. Has anyone got a good picture to post of this car.
Even better has anyone got a copy of R & T September 1964 and could kindly just check for me if the feature on Carlyle Blackwell has a decent picture of the car in question. Thank you. Paul

The September 1964 issue of Road & Track (I have it here) has a three page article written by Tony Hogg, with 9 b/w photos plus an additional 2-page color centerspread done by owner Carlyle Blackwell. This is a "salon" article of a car "restored to mechanical perfection....trimmed and finished to a degree well above and beyond anything conceived by the factory when the car was built." There are no period photos of the car in action. If you wish I could check other issues of R&T from the Fifties for pictures of Ken Miles in the car.

JB Miltonian, thanks for your fast reply, i will have to seek out that magazine. Would love to see more, i have only seen a couple , one in a Ken Miles feature from Sportscar Graphic sept- oct 1959 and a small picture and race review by Miles himself in Competition Press Dec 15 1958.
An interesting thing about the car was it raced on Halibrand wheels in the Pomona race.

A photo here of Carlyles D-Type at Riverside in 1959 are those Halibrands ?

No.

cool picture

Thanks, only other pics I have found are of model #18's :-(

Are you referring to the Blackwell-at-Riverside shot?

It would be technically cooler if I could find the original negative; all I have are 5"x7" prints (made in his bathroom darkroom) my brother Don left me.
