One of the earliest Jaguar D-Types ever produced has emerged for sale at auction for an eye-watering £5.5m.<br />
<br />
The pristine roadster was built in 1954 and was just the seventh example to be put on general sale by the British car giants.<br />
<br />
It has spent much of its life in Australia, where its first owner Bib Stillwell, raced it extensively throughout its early years.<br />
<br />
The open-topped motor was later bought by racing driver Richard Attwood who won the Le Mans in 1970 in a Porsche 917K.
