This 1953 Jaguar was the second of only three Works Lightweight versions of the C-Type and sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s in 2015 for $13,200,000. Chassis XKC 052 finished fourth at Le Mans before being sold to Ecurie Ecosse, winning eight races in the following season. It passed through several new owners and kept racing in club and hillclimb events, going through various guises before it was reverted back to the 1953 Le Mans version.
