This Concours D’ Elegance award winning (2025) Jaguar C Type recreation has been completed over several years with dedicated and careful attention to construct a recreation of the finest quality. This car assembled in Australia using components from the renowned Nostalgia company in the UK was fully road registered in Queensland and is currently club registered in Victoria.
Constructed on a UK jig built space frame chassis that resembles the original design but has been altered to allow for the later model componentry fitted to create more cabin space. The body is a full hand made aluminium body and finished in traditional British Racing Green.
The suspension utilises MKII Jaguar control arms but with fully adjustable coil over spring and shock assemblies. Brakes are 4 wheel discs with dual master cylinders and a vacuum booster. Wheels are 16×6 silver painted wires with radial tyres fitted.
The engine is a 3.8 with 10.0:1 compression ratio with a series III big valve cylinder head, competition camshafts and triple 45DCOE webers. The whole assembly has been balanced and a lightened flywheel and late model diaphragm clutch is fitted. A Jaguar 5 speed gearbox is utilised giving 0.791 5th gear as an overdrive. A correct Salisbury 4HA diff is used with an LSD centre and 4.22:1 gear ratio.
Power and overall performance is exceptional. The driving position and comfort is far superior to the original and the addition of a passenger side door allows easy access. Comes with a folder of restoration photos, receipts, listing of work completed, receipts etc. (see photos).
These cars are rarely offered on the market particularly one of this quality. This is a no expense spared recreation and a fantastic opportunity to purchase a fully sorted road registerable C type.
