The CMC Jaguar C-Type, 1952, model painted in glossy deep British RacingA Green would be a beautiful gift for every petrolhead or anyone who appreciates outstanding quality in their life.

Beautifully crafted 1:18 model.  Featuring real rubber tires, metal exhaust pipes, and steerable wheels.  Also has a flip-open and lockable engine hood. It is made of diecast with some plastic parts. Authentically-replicated hinged fuel cap. Detailed replication of the cooling system.
 Elegant and brilliant finish in original color. The radiator grill is hand-made of stainless steel. Driver´s door is openable on realistic-looking hinges.

Dimensions are approximately L-8.5, W-3.5, H-2 inches. Upholstered leather-covered driver and passenger seats. Screw-on central locking nuts with right-/left-handed threads. Metal precision model hand-built from more than 1,150 parts. Starting numbers printed with the elaborate tampon printing method. Perfectly crafted wheels with stainless-steel spokes and nipples on alloy rims. A realistic replica of the straight-six engine complete with encircling components, pipes, and cabling.

Triangular front axle with wishbones, hydraulic shock absorbers, longitudinal
torsion bar suspension, all made of metal. Rigid rear axle with transverse torsion bar suspension, hydraulic shock absorbers, longitudinal links, all made of metal.

The C-Type developed for use in motorsport from the XK120 was completely new except for the optimized engine. Jaguar won the overall victory in Le Mans twice with the C-Type. Between 1952 and 1955, racing teams with the C-Type won many (class) victories in national and international races. 53 copies of the C-Type were made in Coventry, including four lightweight chassis.
