A truly one-of-a-kind item, unique on a global scale, is for sale! A Jaguar D-Type model produced by Apparence Paris (designed by Jacky Samson). It is a collector's sculpture made of plaster or resin. 

Dimensions: approximately 45 cm long × 17 cm wide × 13 cm high (corresponding to a scale of roughly 1:8). 

It was produced propably in the 1980s. The artisan workshop in Paris was founded in 1982 and became the company Apparence Paris in 1986. Models of this type were also created during that period as display pieces for department stores. Due to the manual process of casting in plaster or resin and the individual hand-painting of each piece, the total production run for individual models (including the Jaguar D-Type No. 3) typically amounted to several dozen or several hundred pieces (unfortunately, the company did not maintain publicly available catalogs listing the exact number of pieces cast). Sculptures created specifically as props for store windows or department stores often lacked any commercial markings on the bottom, as they were not intended for direct retail sale. It is therefore likely that this model is one of them. 

Condition: as shown in the photos—a few small chips and the original front glass is missing (I’m including a custom-made Plexiglas replacement for free; I haven’t glued it in place to avoid damaging the model, so it can be removed at any time).
