Description

There are few cars that capture the romance of 1950s motorsport quite like the Jaguar C-Type. Beautiful, lightweight and purpose-built, the original claimed victory at Le Mans in both 1951 and 1953, cementing its place as one of the most significant sports racing cars ever built.

This Suffolk C-Type recreation is an exceptionally well-executed example, completed in 2019 and correctly registered in the UK with an age-related registration and a recent IVA certificate.

Built to remain faithful to the original in both appearance and driving experience, it combines classic 1950s styling with carefully engineered mechanicals that make it just as enjoyable on today's roads. Whether destined for spirited Sunday mornings, touring, historic events or track days, it offers an engaging and wonderfully analogue driving experience.

Power comes from Jaguar's renowned 3.8-litre XK straight-six, breathing through triple Weber carburettors and paired with a Jaguar four-speed gearbox with overdrive. Having covered just 2,000 miles since completion, the car remains beautifully presented throughout.

Finished in timeless silver over a blue leather interior with bucket seats, the attention to detail is immediately apparent. An aluminium transmission tunnel and period-style black instruments and steering wheel complete the cockpit.. Sitting on blue knock-on wire wheels wrapped in Blockley tyres, the car also benefits from a number of desirable period-correct details including a Le Mans-style quick-release fuel filler, aeroscreens with cutaway Perspex windscreen, Le Mans air scoop and external fuel tank support.

The quality of the build is evident throughout, with comprehensive documentation accompanying the car to support its history and construction.

Located in Saffron Walden and available now, this is a superb opportunity to acquire one of the finest Jaguar C-Type recreations currently on the market. This vehicle is being presented on behalf of a private customer, so please get in touch to arrange a viewing.
