The Jaguar C-Type, officially the Jaguar XK120-C, was a racing sports car built by Jaguar and sold from 1951 to 1953, the C standing for competition. It combined the running gear of the road-going XK120 with a lightweight tubular frame designed by chief engineer William Heynes and an aerodynamic aluminium body developed by Heynes, Bob Knight and later Malcolm Sayer. The 3.4-litre straight-six XK engine was tuned to around 205 bhp, and later cars gained triple Weber carburettors, higher-lift camshafts and four-wheel disc brakes. Fifty-three were built, 43 of them sold to private owners, mainly in the United States. The C-Type won the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1951 and again in 1953 and was succeeded by the D-Type.
