Dealer Comments
This 1953 Jaguar C-Type Roadster is a stunning recreation and absolutely gorgeous in Midnight Blue Metallic over Red leather interior. The heart of this auto is the Jaguar 4.2L/280hp inline 6-cylinder, in this case running on Triple Weber Sidedraft Carburettors. Spent gasses exit through headers to sidepipes exhaust. It has excellent performance. Beneath the Handcrafted Composite Panels lies a handmade spaceframe chassis and the running gear from an XJ6. There's fully independent suspension all round, and a Toyota five-speed gearbox. The gearchange is fantastic and straight-line performance eye-opening. The exhaust noise -- such an important part of an authentic replica -- is savage, the crisp note barely silenced on this example. It handles tidily as well, with plenty of grip, plus the 4-wheel disc brakes inspire confidence.
Only 53 original Jaguar C-type were built. Pricing is in the millions (if one for sale) so it is not hard to imagine why good recreations are sought. The Realm 'Heritage' C-type is built from high-quality GRP using their enhanced manufacturing system, developed from many years experience. Modern features provide better road holding and safety, with; independent rear suspension, dual circuit brakes, collapsible steering column, improved braking. Original examples of Jaguar C-Types are well over a million dollars. With the looks of the famous vintage Jaguar coupled with modern features and reliability, this is a fabulous opportunity for some vintage roadster fun in the sun to your collection.
For the 1953 LeMans race Jaguar fitted the C-Type cars with the revolutionary Dunlop disc brakes. The three cars entered finished first, second and fourth. The winners, Rolt and Hamilton, averaged a speed of over 100mph (161 km/h) for the first time in the history of the Le Mans race.
