About the Jaguar C-Type #18 T. Rolt / D. Hamilton 24 Hours of Le Mans Winner 1953 CMC 1:18

TL;DR: This CMC 1:18 diecast reproduces the Jaguar C-Type, #18, driven by Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton to victory at the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans, a race remembered as disc brakes' breakthrough win. With opening features and hand-fitted metal panels, this is a used model whose box shows traces of storage.

The 1953 Le Mans win holds a special place in motorsport engineering history: Jaguar's disc brakes gave the C-Type a decisive late-braking advantage over drum-braked rivals, a technology that would soon spread across the entire industry.

A Faithful Build of a Technical Milestone

CMC's hand-assembled construction gives this C-Type real mechanical presence, with the hood opening on genuine hinges to reveal the straight-six engine and the disc brake hardware that made this win historically significant, rather than a simplified sealed shell that would hide that story. The British Racing Green finish carries real depth under direct light, and the flowing aluminum-bodied curves of the C-Type's shape come through with genuine dimensional accuracy across the fenders and tail. Metal construction gives the model appropriate weight, and the racing number and period livery hold tight registration befitting a subject this well documented. As a used model, some handling wear around the opening panels is normal; the box shows traces of storage, a condition limited to the carton rather than the model itself.

A Cornerstone of British Racing History

Few Le Mans winners carry as much genuine engineering significance as this C-Type, and a detailed replica gives collectors a way to study the disc-brake hardware and aluminum bodywork that made 1953 a turning point. Displayed alongside other British sports racers of the era, this piece anchors a Jaguar or Le Mans-winners theme with real historical weight, its opening features rewarding the kind of close inspection this landmark car deserves.
