This weekend, the Le Mans 24 Hours runs for the 85th time. The perfect time for Jaguar to open the doors to its new Jaguar Land Rover Classic Works facility in Coventry, then.

That's because three cars are sat proudly in reception – a C-Type, D-Type and XJR-9. All are Le Mans winners, the D-Type a nice round 60 years ago. In fact, 1957 saw Jaguar D-Types finish in first, second, third, fourth and sixth. Wow.

Jag’s first Le Mans victory dates back further, though, the C-Type taking victory in 1953. The most modern car in the line-up above is the XJR-9, which won Le Mans in 1988 with Andy Wallace, Johnny Dumfries and Jan Lammers on driving duties.
