1953 Works Jaguar C-Type

1953 Works Jaguar C-Type (XK120C) recently sold for $13.2 million. The C-Type was a favorite of Sir Sterling Moss and had proven itself over and over again by winning such grand events as Le Mans in 1951 when it beat the second place winner by an astounding 77 miles. That made it the first British car to win the race in nearly 20 years. They won again in 1953 in a 1, 2, 4 victory.

(The Heritage C-type pictured above is an exact replica, except that the cockpit was stretched two inches to make the car more drivable—purely practical. The body and chassis were taken off a factory C-Type many years ago before they skyrocketed in value, so both the structure chassis and body are authentic to the period.)

Hamilton Riley Special

Britain has a proud history of special building with everything from Austin Sevens to Bentley MkVIs being given a new lease of life. The process typically involves modifying the donor vehicle’s existing chassis and fitting a lighter, more sporting body. The Hamilton Riley, however, takes things to the next level. Reputedly created by a Riley employee named Mr Hamilton, the two-seater sits atop a multi-tubular steel chassis that is thought to be bespoke. Certainly, it does not correspond to any Riley model we are aware of. If anything, the construction is more like a 1950s sports racer such as a Jaguar C-Type or Aston Martin DB3. The superstructure is made from thinner gauge steel tubing, while the body itself is fabricated from aluminium. Stylistically, the car resembles nothing so much as a Frazer Nash Targa Florio (at the least from the front). Although the side louvre panels echo those of a Jaguar C-Type, while the blisters above the rear wheels mimic Lister practice. The independent front suspension and rack and pinion steering are seemingly Riley RM-series derived with the leaf-sprung rear axle believed to have come from an AC. Powered by a Riley Pathfinder 2.5 litre ‘twin cam’ four-cylinder engine allied to four-speed manual plus overdrive transmission (presumed to be a Moss ‘box), the Hamilton Riley rides on 16-wire wheels shod with Michelin radial tyres and features drum brakes all-round. The bonnet is held in place with leather straps and the fuel tank accessed via a Monza-style quick release filler cap.

A Little Car for Stirling

Here is the already well-known driver Stirling Moss in the paddock at Goodwood after winning the 500cc Race on September 27, 1952. It is obviously a lovely late summer day at Goodwood. Moss won by just a couple of car lengths from Les Leston in his Leston Special also with Norton power. As was often his habit, especially at Goodwood, Moss drove three different cars in four races – in itself no…

Jaguar C-Type 'Tool-Room” 

One of the most exquisite designed ever penned by Jaguar chief aerodynamicists, Malcolm Sayer, the C-Type Jaguar is widely regarded as one of the most exquisite racing cars ever produced. The lightweight tubular chassis, designed by Bob Knight, was mated to a tuned version of the contemporary roadgoing XK120 taking it from 205bhp in SU carburettor form and raising it to 220bhp with Weber intakes.

With only 52 ever built it is, unsurprisingly, a hugely sought-after motor car with prices often exceeding many millions of pounds, assuming you could find one in the first place.
