We are delighted to present a true piece of racing history: the unmistakable Jaguar C-Type – a masterpiece of British engineering that has more than 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 roared into Le Mans in 1951 – and success followed immediately. Stirling Moss shattered the lap record by a full six seconds, while Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead secured victory with an impressive lead of nine laps. This achievement not only marked the beginning of Jaguar’s golden era in racing but also laid the foundation for a legacy that endures to this day.
With its revolutionary tubular chassis and streamlined bodywork designed by Malcolm Sayer – who would later pen the iconic E-Type – the C-Type is far more than just a race car.
The example we offer is a high-quality recreation of this British legend, crafted with painstaking attention to detail. In 2024, it underwent a full recommissioning by a specialist in the United Kingdom. The vehicle was thoroughly inspected and technically perfected, with invoices totalling over €63,000.
Under the bonnet lies a powerful 3.8L straight-six engine, fitted with modern electronic ignition and K&N air filters. A five-speed gearbox ensures smooth driving, while upgraded disc brakes provide confident stopping power.
Ready to drive straight to Portugal – all that’s left is for you to decide who’s coming along for the ride.
