Auction description:
Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000
Registration Number: A420 VOC
Chassis Number: SAJJAALP3CC357279
Lot 133 - 2014 Jaguar C-Type Aluminium Tribute Roadster

This delightful replica C-Type was built using a Suffolk Sportscar's rolling chassis, and has taken over two years to build, using new or reconditioned Jaguar parts. The 4.2 engine has been completely rebuilt, with a balanced crank, twin 2" SU carbs, gas flowed head with warm road cams and strengthened valve springs, and works replica straight through exhaust system as per the original cars.

This is mated to a four speed Jaguar gearbox with overdrive. A Reconditioned and shortened live rear axle built to the correct width as per original C-type with panhard rod. The complete car has been fitted with a hand crafted aluminium body by Simon Isles that includes aluminium to all interior panels, transmission tunnel and under trays. Painted in British Racing Green. The interior has been re-trimmed in sage green.

With a first registration date of 1983, and offered with a complete file of much recent work, this is perhaps the ultimate C-type replica. Arguably the best Coys has seen in some time and offered with a sensible reserve.
