This is the Jaguar XK 120 C No.20 9th Le Mans 24H 1953 R. Laurent/C. de Tornaco in 1:43 scale by Spark.
The Jaguar XK 120 C (also known as the C-Type) No. 20 — raced in the 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans by Belgian drivers Roger Laurent and Charles de Tornaco — achieved a solid 9th-place overall finish in one of the most historic endurance events of the era. This car was an aerodynamic, competition-focused development of Jaguar’s XK 120 road car, featuring a lightweight chassis and powerful straight-six engine that helped Jaguar dominate the 1953 race with several top finishes. What set the 1953 Le Mans apart was that it became the first time the event’s average speed over 24 hours exceeded 100 mph, with Jaguars finishing 1st, 2nd, 4th and 9th overall — showcasing both reliability and pace in a grueling test of speed and endurance.
