New for me, a comment about "made for D" Jaguars:





It's written there, that the "Leaping Cat", placed on a lot of Jaguar-types of the 50ies and 60ies, was not allowed by the TÜV for safety-reasons. So every "made for D"-Jag back then got a badge instead.

Safety concerns (but not due to TÜV) were also the reason given to remove the Peugeot's lion from 403 hoods in 1959...
They were yet somewhat less "pedestrian killers" than the mascot on the Hispano-Suiza vehicles
