1952 Jaguar C-Type Recreation
$187,000 USD | Sold
California 2013, Lot 526
Identification No. 623871
Offered here is a 1952 C-Type replica that is fully clad in aluminum coachwork, painted in a lovely forest green and built largely from Jaguar XK 120 components. The car is powered by a 3.4-litre, twin-overhead cam, six-cylinder XK 120 engine, which has been highly modified to C-Type specifications. The carburetors are original-style, sand-cast H8 SU’s while the brakes are taken from an XK 120 and the rear axles are altered Salisbury units. This fleet-of-foot machine is fitted with the correct long-fan pulley and the steering rack is made specifically to the original specification. The front and rear torsion bar set-up also follows exact C-Type qualifications.

One can visually see the period correctness with the C-Type wire wheels with knock-offs, side exhaust system, leather bonnet straps, quick-fill fuel cap, a pair of Brooklands-style windscreens and a wrap-around aero screen. The C-Type is complete with a full FIVA passport and FIA papers and is eligible for nearly all historical events around the globe. This is a rare opportunity to own one of these coveted Jaguar C-Types for a fraction of the price.
