Vehicle Description
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.For more information on this fantastic 1953
