Produced between 1951 and 1953, the Jaguar Type C owes its success to the fluid shapes designed by designer Malcolm Sayer.

The car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in its first participation in 1951, the first of Jaguar's seven victories in the legendary French endurance race.

In 1952, the C-type took part in a mechanical revolution, as it was the first to use disc brake technology in the world of motorsport.

The innovative system, developed by Jaguar and Dunlop, allows Stirling Moss to win the Grand Prix de Reims and participate in the Mille Miglia in Italy.

The C-type won the 24 Hours of Le Mans again in 1953, yet another first for disc brake technology.
