The Jaguar C-Type, officially called the Jaguar XK120-C, is a racing sports car built by Jaguar and sold 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 designed by Jaguar Chief Engineer William Heynes, and an aerodynamic aluminium body, jointly developed by William Heynes, R J (Bob) Knight and later Malcolm Sayer. A total of 53 C-Types were built, 43 of which were sold to private owners, mainly in the US.
Here is a set of beautiful photos of the Jaguar C-Type.
