Description

CMC Jaguar C Type,1953, 24h France WINNER #18 , Tony Rolt / Duncan Hamilton, ( British Racing Green )

After a surprisingly clear victory of the C-Type in 1951 and a disastrous failure of the team a year later, the extensive preparations for Le Mans 1953 were meticulously carried out. Jaguar Cars Ltd. sent a total of four vehicles to France. The reward for the work invested: game, set and match. On 14 June 1953 at 16:00, the Jaguar boys crossed the finish line - all the C-Types entered crossed the finish line, and first, second, fourth and ninth place was theirs.
CMC has authentically recreated the legendary Jaguar car that won the 24 Hours of the Sarthe.
