About the Model
CMC studied Dr. Christian Jenny's C-Type (XKC 023) closely to create this miniature, capturing the charisma and sporty dynamics of the original car.
The C-Type was developed for motorsport from the XK120, with a completely new design apart from its optimized engine. Jaguar won the overall victory at Le Mans twice with the C-Type. Between 1952 and 1955, C-Type racing teams earned many class and international victories. Coventry produced 53 copies of the C-Type, including four lightweight chassis.
Packaging
Each model is wrapped in bubble wrap for protection in transit, and models with a fragile window box are additionally protected with carton packaging.
