1952 Jaguar C-Type

This car is pictured just after Lodge Corner in the Coys Race for Pre-1959 Drum Brake Sports Cars at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2002.

It's David Wenman in his 1952 Jaguar C-Type which is chassis XKC008 and has the 6-cylinder inline 3,442cc Jaguar XK6 engine that powered all the C-Types, and was originally owned by Leslie Johnson who drove it in the 1953 Mille Miglia but failed to finish the race. Peter Walker and Peter Whitehead won the 1951 Le Mans 24 Hour Race in a Jaguar C-Type, and Duncan Hamilton and Tony Rolt repeated that feat in 1953.
