Jaguar's C-Type has a proud racing history, and today is viewed as being the true starting point of Jaguar’s impressive racing program.

After winning Le Mans in 1951 and 1953, the C-Type has become one of the most sought after automobiles to the true enthusiast.

Mechanically the C-Type Jaguar was based on the bullet-proof 3.4 litre engine from the XK120. However, the 120's heavy chassis was discarded and replaced with a new, lightweight tubular steel frame.

In 1951 the C-type first appeared with the XK120's standard drum brakes and twin SU carburetors and won first time out at Le Mans. In 1953 the C Types had lightweight bodies, 4 wheel disk brakes and triple Webers, all of which helped Jaguar to taken 1st, 2nd and 4th places at Le Mans. All of these specification variables are available for production by us as requested.
