Jaguar C-Type
Cars available for purchase in our showroom or built to order.
Choose from either the 1951 or 1953 LeMans winning body styles. The 1951 has a smooth bonnet and rear section whereas the 1953 has a small scoop on the bonnet to feed air to the triple Weber carburetors and a rib running down the rear section which was the support for the larger fuel tank as well as a lamp to illuminate the roundel during night racing.
These superb recreations are both dimensionally and aesthetically true to the original. The interior is configured as original with original style gauges.
The bodies are English wheel rolled aluminum which is far superior in fitment and finish to the hammered panels offered by some other companies. The metal shaping craftsmanship is so good that even in bare metal there is a near mirror finish on the panels. Every panel, every bracket, every louver and every fitting is bespoke and hand fitted to ensure a superior fit and finish. The cars are dimensionally faithful to the originals and the tubular frames capture the appearance of the originals while using later model Jaguar suspension components including the famous independent rear suspension. Adjustable dampers at all 4 corners is standard. This combines to provide exceptional road holding, superior traction and a beautiful balance of performance and ride quality.
The famous twin cam Jaguar inline 6 is lusty, velvety smooth and delivers the seamless ribbon of raw power which always leaves a smile on your face. Their light weight alloy bodies allow the large disk brakes to perform feats of deceleration which would have seemed miraculous to other vehicles of their era.
The interiors are configured as original and with new instruments matching the appearance of the originals. The seats are trimmed in your choice of leather and each car comes equipped with Willians four point racing harnesses.
