    Jaguar C type, the car that pioneered disc brakes in racing. A few minor mods from original but a great car.

    Thanks for recommending this one Lou. The bonnet of this car is a work of art. I remember seeing old nighttime films of the 1953 Le Mans race with the Jaguar brake rotors glowing bright red, probably C Types. This car has a very angry sounding exhaust note. I still think straight sixes have the best exhaust note. As always, good show!

    Hey Lou. Lovely looking Jaguar. I've always loved Jaguar cars of the 1950s and the 60s. They're perhaps the best looking cars I've ever seen. :)

    They're great cars, I remember them racing when they were new. Despite what Lou said I think think that there a few left that still race. Fascinating hearing the American pronunciation of Jaguar and he called the driver's door the passenger door! Fabulous car pity that we didn't see it on the track.

    This C type even sounds like a jaguar! --Like the animal jaguar's growls and guttural roars and sonorous purrs. Jaguar indeed.

    Well it is interesting to see how the Jag's evolved. It is also interesting to me that the DOHC in line 6 was eating the V8's that it had to be competing against.

    In 1952 the jaguar C Type started too, but all cars had to retire. Because of the "droop-snoot" called aerodynamic front nose which did not let enough cold air into the engine, so they overheated all. Sir William let all the cars be reinstalled to the original design. Mercedes won the race in the end as the last of the big contenders surviving with the 300 SL prototypes . Big Hero of this race was Pierre Levegh with the 4.5 Litre Talbot Lago driving 23 hours through without change and leading the race after the jaguar retirement, but he too could not drive until the end. So the 178hp 3 carburettor Mercedes Coupes and a Spider version herited 1. , 2. and 4 the place. th-cam.com/video/jSLvFbYaAyw/w-d-xo.html
    see Levegh there above fighting with his physics and the 220hp Talbot. German Commentator says : Levegh is muede, he is tired and the transmission of his speedo was broken.

    Looking at the camera while talking to a guest is bad form m8.
    Makes the guest seem inconsequential, and it makes the interview feel impersonal.
    Just saying..
