Jaguar C Type (XK 120 C) - 1952 sent on June 14, 2021 (3:00) by LucianoSerra.d. 12 comments, 173 views.

La casa automobilistica inglese Jaguar venne fondata nel 1945 dal designer ed imprenditore William Lyons (1902 – 1985) che precedentemente... nel 1921... aveva dato vita alla Swallow Sidecar Company (poi diventata Standard Swallow Cars Limited). Dopo aver attraversato diverse vicissitudini nel 2008 la Jaguar entrò a far parte dell'indiana Tata Motors. La Jaguar C Type venne costruita dal 1951 al 1953 in 48 esemplari e progettualmente era nata come evoluzione sportiva della Jaguar XK 120 dove la C aggiunta nell sigla stava per “Competition”. Descritta come una Spyder in realtà la vettura è una Barchetta in quanto non è dotata di alcun tipo di capote a protezione dell'equipaggio. Per contenere il peso la carrozzeria era in alluminio mentre sul telaio di tipo tubolare in acciaio venne montato un motore di 3442 cm3 con 6 cilindri in linea derivato da quello della Jaguar XK 120 e dove la potenza era stata portata inizialmente a 205 cavalli… ma poi crebbe ancora dopo l'adozione di carburatori a doppio corpo facendo raggiungere alla vettura una velocità massima prossima ai 232 chilometri orari. Nel 1951 condotta da Peter Walker e Peter Whithead e nel 1953 guidata da Duncan Hamilton e Tony Rolt la C Type si aggiudicò la prestigiosa 24 Ore di Le Mans ottenendo in questa 2° vittoria una media oraria di oltre 170 chilometri: ciò era molto dovuto al fatto che la vettura era la prima dotata di freni a disco… messi a punto dalla collaborazione della Jaguar con la Dunlop… e che le consentivano un miglior controllo della guida alla alte velocità. Se già nel corso degli anni passati erano state prodotte alcune repliche della C Type da aziende esterne… nel 2021 viene deciso di produrre 8 nuove C Type per il mercato collezionistico nello stabilimento Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works situato a Coventry (GB)… dove tutta le lavorazioni vengono eseguite manualmente come si faceva un tempo. Attualmente... una delle poche C Type d'epoca rimaste e se ben conservata… ha un buon valore sul mercato collezionistico: nel 2014 un'esemplare di questa Barchetta è stato battuto ad un'asta per 3 milioni e 519 mila euro.

As a fan I always read your competent captions. A four-wheeled Treccani. And then the set of beautiful images of models now almost impossible to find completes the work. The Jaguar is an icon in the niche of sports cars. Congratulations Luciano.
Bye gios 8-)
