Between 1951 and 1953, 52 Jaguar C-types (or XK120C) left the Browns Lane works in Coventry. Following the strong showing by almost standard XK120's at the 1950 Le Mans 24 Hours, Jaguar founder William Lyons decided to have a proper attempt at the 1951 edition of the Grand Prix d'Endurance at the legendary Sarthe circuit, two hours southwest of Paris.
