[art #271]. Limited Edition Print by Steve Dunn.

The Jaguar C-Type (1951), finished in iconic British Racing Green, is one of the most revered sports cars of its era, combining sleek aerodynamics with raw racing power. Designed specifically for racing, the C-Type was based on the mechanicals of the XK120 but featured a lighter, more aerodynamic body. Powered by a 3.4-litre inline-six engine, it produced around 200bhp, enabling it to achieve impressive speeds on the track. The C-Type's lightweight construction and disc brakes were pioneering at the time, giving it a significant advantage over its competitors.

The C-Type's crowning achievement came at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where it claimed victory in both 1951 and 1953. Its curvaceous bodywork, low-slung stance, and unmistakable green livery epitomised Jaguar's dominance in endurance racing. The C-Type laid the groundwork for the legendary D-Type, cementing Jaguar's place in motorsport history.
