Description
Jaguar developed the aluminum-bodied, tube-frame C-Type as a competition variant of the XK120 after the latter showed promise racing in the hands of privateers. Approximately 50 examples of the original C-Type were built, among them the 1951 and 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans winners. This re-creation utilizes a rectangular tube frame wrapped in fiberglass bodywork with Kevlar and steel molded into stress points.

Jaguar developed the aluminum-bodied, tube-frame C-Type as a competition variant of the XK120 after the latter showed promise racing in the hands of privateers. Approximately 50 examples of the original C-Type were built, among them the 1951 and 1953 24 Hours of Le Mans winners. This re-creation utilizes a rectangular tube frame wrapped in fiberglass bodywork with Kevlar and steel molded into stress points.
The body is finished in British Racing Green with white No. 3 roundels on the hood, sides, and tail section. Exterior details include twin Brooklands-style windscreens on body-colored pedestals, a rearview mirror fairing, a louvered clamshell hood with external latches and leather straps, covered headlamps, a competition-style fuel filler cap, dual side pipes, and a rear license plate light.
Bolt-on 16” chrome wire wheels feature faux knock-off spinners and wear 215/65 Goodyear Viva Touring tires. Suspension comprises a Mustang II-style front end with tubular control arms along with an adjustable triangulated four-link rear setup. Height-adjustable coilovers are utilized at each corner. Power-assisted braking is provided by ventilated discs up front and solid versions at the rear, while unassisted steering is via rack and pinion.
Black upholstery trims the bucket seats and door panels, while matching carpets cover the floors, center tunnel, and rear storage compartment. Cockpit features include a split wood-rimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel with a Jaguar-branded hub, black lap belts with “leaper” buckles, and vinyl-covered finishing panels under the dash. Sound-deadening material is said to have been fitted beneath the interior trim.
The body-colored dash houses Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges monitoring oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level, and amperage. The gauges are said to have been sourced from the same donor car as the engine.
The 4.2-liter DOHC inline-six was sourced from a Jaguar 420 and has been fitted with triple Weber 45 DCOE carburetors, a Warneford Design intake manifold, and stainless-steel exhaust headers. Additional equipment includes PerTronix electronic ignition with a Lucas Sport coil, a Griffin aluminum radiator, a Derale Performance electric cooling fan, an electric fuel pump, and a powder-coated fuel tank. Body-colored texture coating has been applied to the underside of the hood panel, which opens with assistance from gas struts.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a Tremec T5 five-speed manual transmission and a Ford 9” rear end with a 3.70:1 Traction-Lok differential. Texture coating also covers the underbody, and heat shielding material has been added in several areas.
