Auction description:

Lot Number 722

Make C-TYPE

Model C-TYPE

Registration Number SBL 536

MOT Expiry 13/07/2021

Chassis Number S824704DN

Body Colour BRG

An extremely well-constructed, tool-room copy of the Jaguar C-Type, Le Mans-winning sports racing car from the early 1950s

All-alloy body built some 30 years ago utilising parts purchased from Peter Jaye, a C-Type specialist renowned for detailed accuracy

Understood to have previously secured entries into some Blue Riband events including the Mile Miglia Retrospective

Delightfully patinated and maintained regardless of cost with a recent professional engine rebuild and consequently on-the-button

Road registered as an ‘Historic’ Jaguar with current V5c, a superb road-going replica that could potentially be converted for competition use

Offered here is a beautiful and well-constructed, all-alloy bodied, C-Type tool-room copy. Not to be confused with other ‘replicas’ often seen at events and on the market, this example is extremely faithful to the original, convincing enough, we understand, to have secured entries into some of the worlds most prestigious events such as the Mille Miglia Retrospective.

UK-registered as a 1959 ‘Historic’ vehicle and believed to have been built around 30 years ago utilising components including the chassis, steering and suspension sourced from Peter Jaye, an engineer renowned for building similar exacting and detailed C-Type replicas. Today, this faithful tribute wears a glorious patination and is on-the-button and performing well partly due to a recent professional engine rebuild with less than 1,000 miles use since, so nicely run-in.

On offer from a private collector who has owned both genuine C and D-Type Jaguars, this is a great opportunity to own a tool-room copy C-type, professionally engineered, well maintained, on-the-button and ready to be enjoyed as a road car or with a little development possibly used in competition.
