Description
The 1953 24 Hours of France winning car, the triumphant winner. The Jaguar racing team presented the victory to HM Queen Elizabeth, who had been enthroned that year, and the car was left to rot on the Jaguar factory grounds, inexplicably. CMC commemorates the 1953 triumph with this C-Type and is offering this winning car, number 18, as a 1:18 scale model.
After a surprisingly convincing victory for the C-Type in 1951 and a disastrous failure for the team a year later, extensive preparations for Le Mans 1953 were meticulously carried out. Jaguar Cars Ltd. sent a total of four vehicles to France. The reward for the invested effort: game, set, and match. On June 14, 1953, at 4:00 p.m., the Jaguar boys reached the finish line – all of the C-Types entered crossed the finish line, with their first, second, fourth, and ninth places.
Winner of the 24H of France, Tony Rolt / Duncan Hamilton #18 , Jaguar Racing Team
The endurance classic was Jaguar's primary goal from the beginning, as they were aware of the marketing impact of a Le Mans victory. Accordingly, Jaguar focused on high reliability and good handling during the development of the C-Type. Jaguar balanced the aerodynamics for high top speeds. Chief engineer Bill Heynes did a great job. The chassis was redesigned as a tubular space frame. Jaguar mounted a thin aluminum body with a single door for the driver on top. The design was conceived by the gifted engineer Malcolm Sayer, who just a few years earlier had been designing aircraft for the British Royal Air Force.
The cockpit was protected only by a small racing windshield. The space inside can only be described as cramped due to the bracing of the tubular space frame. However, the Jaguar drivers found all the necessary instruments in the cockpit of the C-Type, including spare spark plugs and tools for repairs during the race. After the factory team's total retirement in 1952, four C-Types were completely rebuilt for the following season: The reworked engines received three Weber 40DCO3 twin carburettors, the body was now made of very thin aluminum sheet, and the rubber fuel tank was derived from aircraft construction. Jaguar used the newly developed Dunlop disc brakes and a servo amplifier for brake pressure assistance for the first time. For improved roadholding at Le Mans, the rear axle received additional support, and the front axle a stronger anti-roll bar. The effort paid off at the end of the race. The Jaguar boys won and also finished second, fourth, and ninth. William Lyons dedicated this triumphant march to the newly enthroned Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty returned the favor in her own way and knighted the Jaguar boss in the spring of 1956.
