Jaguar C-Type
The Jaguar C-Type (officially called the Jaguar XK120-C) is a racing sports car built by Jaguar from 1951 to 1953. The “C” stands for “competition”
The car combined the running gear of the contemporary, road-proven XK120, with a lightweight tubular frame and an aerodynamic aluminium body. A total of 53 C-Types were built.
This is one of the most unmolested, highly original, 1950s 24-Hour-race sports cars still surviving anywhere in the world today. It is also much more than ‘just’ a Le Mans 24-Hour race car – it is a Le Mans 24-Hour-race top-ten finisher, and it achieved that feat in the Jaguar C-Type model’s greatest Le Mans year – 1953 – when the works-prepared and entered cars finished first, second, fourth and ninth overall.
