1953 Works Jaguar C-Type
1953 Works Jaguar C-Type (XK120C) recently sold for $13.2 million. The C-Type was a favorite of Sir Sterling Moss and had proven itself over and over again by winning such grand events as Le Mans in 1951 when it beat the second place winner by an astounding 77 miles. That made it the first British car to win the race in nearly 20 years. They won again in 1953 in a 1, 2, 4 victory.
(The Heritage C-type pictured above is an exact replica, except that the cockpit was stretched two inches to make the car more drivable—purely practical. The body and chassis were taken off a factory C-Type many years ago before they skyrocketed in value, so both the structure chassis and body are authentic to the period.)
