It is a 3442cc inline 6 cylinder with over 200 horsepower. With the C-Type, Jaguar achieved two victories at Le Mans, in 1951 and 1953, the latter with a car equipped with Dunlop disc brakes that ensured a clear advantage over the competition. It is estimated that around 53 C-Types were produced up to 1953.
Jaguar had won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time in 1951 with the C-Type. The English brand achieved a second success with this car in 1953, with the official example entered for Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt. Over the seasons the C-Type had received constant improvements which had made it extremely competitive. Jaguar then continued its journey of success in endurance racing with the D-Type, Le Mans winner in 1955, 1956 and 1957.
