The Jaguar C-Type (also called the Jaguar XK120-C) is a racing sports car built by Jaguar and sold from 1951 to 1953. The "C" stands for "competition".  Winner of the Le Mans race in 1951 and 1953, the C-Type has a coveted place in racing history. For that reason, and  because of the extreme rarity of one of the 53 original samples, replicas have considerable following in the market.
