Description

The sort of machine that stops people mid-sentence at the fuel station. This stunning 1951 Jaguar C-Type Replica is finished in iconic British Racing Green and has travelled just 2,450 miles from new. Built with the spirit and presence of the legendary Le Mans-winning C-Type, it delivers the looks and driving experience of one of the most desirable sports racing cars ever created — without the eight-figure price tag.

Power comes from a strong-running 3.8 litre inline six engine, paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox with electric overdrive, giving the car a wonderfully mechanical and engaging driving experience. The exhaust note alone is enough to make grown men suddenly start talking about “the good old days” while pretending they don’t want one.

The genuine Jaguar C-Types are now firmly in the collector stratosphere, with original examples achieving up to USD $15 million at international auctions. This beautifully presented replica captures the elegance, proportions and theatre of the original while remaining something you can actually drive, enjoy and share without needing armed security following behind.

A rare opportunity to own one of the most recognisable and celebrated shapes in motoring history. Perfect for classic rallies, weekend touring, car shows, or simply opening the garage door and admiring with a coffee in hand.
