▪ Jaguar Classic is creating a limited run of new hand-built examples of the iconic Jaguar C-type to celebrate its 70-year anniversary
▪ The C-type Continuation will be officially unveiled to the public at the annual Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, England, from 3-5 September 2021
▪ Revealed in 1951 – the year it won Le Mans on its debut – the C-type was a pioneering race car, introducing aerospace-inspired aerodynamic principles to the sport, and later on, disc brakes
▪ Built to the 1953 Le Mans-winning works team car specification, the limited-run of Continuations have been painstakingly researched and developed
▪ Each example has a 3.4-litre straight-six engine with triple Weber carburettors, producing 220bhp, and disc brakes
▪ C-type Continuation arrives at Concours of Elegance after completing over 1,000 miles of high-speed durability testing
▪ Using a combination of modern technology and archived Jaguar materials, the C-type Continuation is the first Jaguar Classic car to be reproduced fully utilising 3D CAD to support a virtual build
