Jaguar C-Type #19 Ecurie Ecosse blue Steward/Sandersson CMC M-192 LE 1,500
Description
In the Ecurie Ecosse's colors of the time: royal blue metallic with a white horizontal stripe on the hood. This C-Type was raced very successfully in Great Britain from July 1953 to the end of 1955, including at Goodwood, the Tourist Trophy, in its native Scotland, and at the Nürburgring in 1953. CMC is celebrating this era and will offer version #19 as a 1:18 scale model.
Founded in 1951, the Ecurie Ecosse—French for "Scottish Racing Team"—was associated with Jaguar Cars Ltd., especially in the 1950s. The racing team emerged from the Merchiston Motors of founders David Murray and Walter Wilkinson. The Ecurie Ecosse participated in the British Grand Prix three times, but without success. The racing team enjoyed even greater success with Jaguar sports cars. CMC has authentically recreated the legendary racing car in the Goodwood Members Meeting livery in "Scottish Flag Blue Metallic."
Jaguar handed over the C-Types that had won the previous year to the Ecurie Ecosse in April 1954. There the racing cars were repainted in the team colors of "flag metallic blue" and given the racing team's typical horizontal stripes. David Murray successfully campaigned the C-Type Lightweight in national races in Great Britain in the 1954/55 season, as well as in international motor racing events. Ian Stewart, Bill Dobson and Sir James Scott Douglas drove for the racing team. From 1955 onwards Jimmy Stewart and Ninian Sanderson replaced Bill Dobson. With drivers Jimmy Stewart and Roy Salvadori alone the Ecurie achieved five wins, four second places and four third places. In total the Scottish racing team's season record included eight race wins. The winner of the race on May 1, 1954 in Goodwood was Jimmy Stewart in the C-Type Lightweight #19, which served as the inspiration for our model.
The Ecurie Ecosse sold its C-Type factory racers in October 1954 to raise the seed capital for the purchase of the brand-new D-Type, which Jaguar had promised to deliver in 1955. C-Type 052 was sold to Peter Blond, a British racing driver. He used the car very successfully: a second place at Goodwood and a fourth place, shared with Hans Davids, in the sports car race at Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, were the highlights. Naturally, XKC052 was also present at the Jaguar anniversaries in 1991 and 1993, commemorating the 1951 and 1953 Le Mans victories.
Over the past two decades, the Jaguar C-Type has become one of the most coveted historic racing cars of all time, and so it was only a matter of time before a Jaguar broke the $10 million mark. At Pebble Beach in August 2015, the moment finally arrived: chassis XKC052 was sold by RM Sotheby's for $13.2 million. It was the most expensive Jaguar of all time.
