Jaguars

I took this photograph in the paddock at the Gold Cup meeting at Oulton Park in August 2003.
The car on the left is a 1950 Jaguar XK120, chassis 670128, which has the 3,442cc straight 6 engine, but I can't make out a race number on it and it doesn't appear to be listed in the programme of the event. On the right is the 1952 Jaguar C-Type replica of Nick Rossi, also with the 3,442cc engine, and is one of several cars created by Peter Jaye, this one being based on a Jaguar XK120. The C-Type took part in the BRDC Historic Sports Car Championship race at this Gold Cup meeting.

Jaguar C-Type

This was one of the cars taking part in the HGPCA Race for Pre-1959 Drum-Braked Sports Cars at the Historic Grand Prix Cars Association's International Historic Grand Prix meeting at Donington Park in May 2004.
It's Nick Rossi's 1952 Jaguar C-Type replica, one of several cars created by Peter Jaye - in this instance based on a Jaguar XK120. It has the 3,442cc straight-6 engine that powered the original C-Types.
