Classic Jaguar Replicas of Berkshire, whose cars have raced successfully in the Paladin Shield series and even won the modern Carrera Panamericana, produces remarkable Heritage C-Types.

The car offered here is one such replica, originally built from 1976 XJ6 components in 1992 for Terry Cohn of Farnham. Cohn, formerly a Rolls-Royce dealer, had intended to race the car but sold it at auction one year later where it was acquired by the Ecclestone Collection.

The fibreglass coachwork is fitted to a triangulated, space frame chassis and is painted in proper Ecurie Ecosse blue, which remains in good condition. The fit of the body panels is also generally good.

Correct C-Type reproduction units include wire wheels, side exhaust, leather bonnet straps, a pair of Brooklands-style windscreens, and a wrap-around aero screen.
