The 1953 Le Mans-winning Jaguar C-type after a gruelling 24 hours
The ex-works Jaguar C-type heading to Concours of Elegance was piloted to Le Mans victory by Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton.
It was one of three lightweight C-types built for that year’s round-the-clock race.
The ’53 Le Mans winner, chassis XKC 051, was also the first car to average more than 100mph during the 24-hour race.
