The Greatest and Most Important British Car of All Time?

We are proud to present a true piece of racing history: the unmistakable Jaguar C-Type – a masterpiece of British engineering that firmly earned its place on the world stage. Built between 1951 and 1953 as the competition version of the renowned XK120, the C-Type firmly established Jaguar’s reputation in motorsport.

The first C-Types took to the Le Mans circuit in 1951 – and success was immediate. Stirling Moss shattered the lap record by an impressive six seconds, while Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead claimed victory with a commanding nine-lap lead. A performance that not only marked the beginning of Jaguar’s golden age in motorsport but also laid the foundation for a legacy that continues to this day.

With its revolutionary tubular chassis and streamlined bodywork – designed by Malcolm Sayer, who later created the E-Type – the C-Type is much more than a racing car.

Our example is a high-quality recreation of this British legend, crafted with attention to the finest details. In 2024, it underwent a full restoration by a specialist in the UK. The vehicle was thoroughly inspected and technically perfected, with invoices totaling over €63,000. Its powerful 3.8L inline-six engine is equipped with modern electronic ignition and K&N air filters. A 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth performance, while upgraded disc brakes provide confident stopping power.
