“If you had told me when I was 16 years old that someone would throw me the keys to their works Lightweight Le Mans Jaguar C-Type, I would have told you that you were absolutely crazy…but that’s exactly what happened,” says David Swig, an RM Sotheby’s car specialist. • This 1953 Jaguar C-Type Works finished fourth overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1953, and is the second of only three “Works Lightweight” cars built by Jaguar. • To be offered by RM Sotheby’s at the company’s Monterey sale in August, Swig recently had the opportunity to take the car out to gather some on-road driving impressions. • “No less than five Le Mans-winning drivers of this period have sat behind the wheel of this car,” Swig says, “which almost give you goosebumps.” • “What I love about these cars is how communicative they are on the road,” he says. “How when you’re going through a corner, you feel in the seat of your pants and through the steering wheel every little movement, every little pebble that you drive over.” • “The exhaust note is one that makes you just want to rev it and rev it,” he says. • This car is very much a piece of history, and even though it featured groundbreaking technology like four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes and lightweight aluminum bodywork, it’s still a usable, drivable classic even today. • Drive Tastefully® • http://Petrolicious.com • / petrolicious
