I’ve done this car to death of course, but each time it’s offered for sale the vendor unveils a few more shots, Bonhams are the source of this lot. Shared here coz they are too interesting to waste.
Geordie Anderson checks that her Dunlops are attached securely before the off, XKD526 circa 1956.
The on-circuit shots are at Lowood, and appear to be Ms Anderson too, happy to take your advice as to the meeting date. From memory it will be early after the cars arrival, once Bill Pitt got his hands on it, he kept it to himself. I would have done the same.

Tailpiece…
XKD526 during its Appendix K GT days at Warwick Farm circa 1961/2.
As ugly as it is, the conversion from curvaceous sporty to fugly coupe is still one of the better ones of that era.
