Sir William Speaks About the C-Type Jaguar at Le Mans
Sir William Lyons made the following comments about the C-Type
Jaguar that competed at Le Mans in 1951. Only 54 of the cars were built,
and they are the most loved of all Jaguars among enthusiasts. Even
replicas fetch a high amount, until this day.
"We decided that we could make a car to win.
And so we came back and this was designed,
with Mr. Heynes as the primary designer,
as a uni-construction monocoque type construction job.
And we took it to Le Mans, in 1951, to successfully win".
