Car lovers all over the world are waiting for the RM Auctions Sports & Classics of Monterey event with bated breath. Held between August 13 and 15 in California, this one is sure to be grabbing headline with the rare and exquisite beauties that it has in participation. You can very well expect anything from the likes of the historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type race car that had the legendary Phill hill as its owner when he won the Jaguar C-Type’s first North American racing victory.
A little research told us that this car is one of the 53 cars that were originally built and delivered to America. With a designation of XKC-007, the car was shipped to 1952 and immediately driven to Elkhart Lake in Winsconsin. It is there that the car made its racing debut as part of Jaguar’s North American sales pitch campaign.

Beautiful cars have a legend to live up to. They inspire individuals to dream big, offer the great escape from woes while giving the best speed thrills and (let’s face it) is one of the best ways to interest the babes. Not many cars reach the esteemed position of being able to provide all this.
The 2010 Jaguar XJ appears to be a car that can do all this and more. With an amazingly beautiful design, the Jaguar XJ is made from lightweight aluminium and features a glass roof that would appeal to all the stargazers out there. The luxury sedan gives you the option of choosing among three engines: a V8 with 385hp, a V8 with 470 hp and a V8 with 510hp. The sedan also features variable damping, active differential control, and power steering system.
