A historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type race car that was driven to victory in 1952 by the legendary Phil Hill to claim the Jaguar C-Type’s first North American racing victory has joined the starting lineup for RM Auctions Sports & Classics of Monterey event, to be held between August 13 and 15 in Monterey, California.
The rare C-Type, designated XKC-007, was one of just 53 examples built and one of the first Jaguar C-Types delivered to America. Shipped to New York in 1952, this example was immediately driven to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where it, along with XKC-009, made their competitive racing debuts as part of the company’s North American sales pitch for the model.
