The 1953 Jaguar C Type is a classic British sports car that was produced from 1951 to 1953. It was the first Jaguar to use the iconic XK engine, which was a 3.4-litre straight-six engine that produced up to 220 horsepower. The C Type was designed to be a race car, and it was successful in that regard, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1951 and 1953. The car was also known for its aerodynamic bodywork, which was designed by Malcolm Sayer. The C Type was a lightweight car, weighing just 1,912 pounds, and it had a top speed of 150 mph. The car was also equipped with disc brakes, which were a rarity at the time. The C Type was a beautiful car, and it is still highly sought after by collectors today.
