Jaguar Classic is celebrating the 70th anniversary of the legendary C-type sports racer by creating a strictly limited production run of new C-type Continuation cars - which will be hand built at Jaguar’s world-class Classic Works facility in Coventry.
The C-type Continuation programme will allow historic motor racing enthusiasts to purchase a new factory-built example of the ultimate 1953 disc-braked ‘works’ C-type direct from Jaguar for the first time.
The C-type, which was originally made between 1951-53, was famed for its fluid shape , aerodynamicist and artist Malcolm Sayer. It won the gruelling Le Mans 24 Hours on its debut in 1951, scoring the first of Jaguar’s seven outright wins at the French endurance race.
