The oldest original C-Type still battles to this day | Goodwood Revival

Jaguar's first purpose-built racing car really was a special machine. The Jaguar C-Type was a very successful racing car winning the 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans at its first attempt. Despite being the hot favourite to win the Goodwood 9 Hours, they could never claim victory.
Thankfully, they have another chance at glory as they still race today at the Goodwood Revival and they've finally managed to get a few wins.
We spoke to Nigel Webb, owner of the older original Jaguar C-Type, who sheds some light on what it's like to own and race a piece of racing royalty.

"you're a lunatic". Exactly why Goodwood is the very best in classic racing.

[@charleshultquist9233]

I can't imagine driving such a valuable piece of history in a racing situation.

Better to race it than in a museum

new age idolatry. Seemed to mastasitcize in c.1990. A friend had the 3 Speedster made. In 1987 it was worth around $15K, it needed complete go over. By 1990 it was $60K ish and then it got ugly...... All the joy is lost when the simple pleasures are suddenly hundreds of thousands of dollars.

My Mum and Dad lived in London in the late 60s my late Father left a large book full of photos of various classics that I have always enjoyed looking at. A C type Jag driven as a daily by a young mechanic that worked in London is one of many that I always enjoyed hearing about.
