On the left is Bob Tullius' Group 44, Inc. V-12 XJS that won the Constructors Trans Am title in 1978, the first constructors title ever won by a factory supported Jaguar.   Tullius had won the Driver's Championship earlier that year.
The car on the right is the Group 44, Inc. Jaguar XJR-5 V-12 24 hours of Le Mans car that ran in June of 1984.  The car was driven by Bob
Tullius,  Brian Redman and Doc Bundy.   There's more information on this amazing car at The Ultimate Car Page.

This is Griffith #0001 owned by Walter Hotchkiss here in Florida.   He races it in SCCA vintage racing and he's done an excellent job of restoring it to "like new" condition.   He said it was a pile of rust and many boxes of parts when he started the restoration. 

To carry on the Jaguar success the D-type was born, one of the
ultimate race cars of its era. The low drag co-efficient design and lightweight aluminum hand rolled body shells made this car a racer to be reckoned with. Going from strength to strength with a variety of
designs such as the long nose, short nose, single screen and the
appendix C wide screen, the D-type won Le Mans in 1955, 1956 and 1957, partly by privateers, when Jaguar pulled out of racing in 1956.
