About the Jaguar C-Type Green AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Jaguar C-Type in British Racing Green features opening doors and hood over a zinc alloy body. It captures the 1951 roadster for collectors building a vintage sports racing or Jaguar heritage lineup.
The C-Type won Le Mans in 1951 and helped establish Jaguar's competition reputation, and AUTOart's diecast lets a collector open it up to examine the mechanical simplicity behind that early racing success.
Opening Panels on the Jaguar C-Type
The doors and hood operate on this casting, exposing a modeled inline-six engine and the C-Type's spartan racing cockpit, with minimal creature comforts befitting a car built for endurance competition rather than road comfort. Zinc alloy construction gives real substance to the model, and the panels settle with the deliberate resistance well-tooled diecast typically delivers. British Racing Green paint sits with genuine depth over the shell, honoring the color that carried British racing teams through much of the postwar era. Checking the hood's fit against the flowing front fenders offers a solid fidelity check for this classic roadster shape.
A Significant Piece for a Vintage Racing Shelf
This C-Type pairs naturally with other early-1950s sports racers, particularly other Le Mans-era competitors, offering real historical weight to a vintage racing collection. At 1:18 it measures close to 22cm, a compact but purposeful footprint reflecting the era's lightweight racing design philosophy. Because the doors and hood open, careful handling of the hinges keeps them smooth over years of display. For a collection built around genuine motorsport heritage, this C-Type is a substantial and rewarding addition.
