Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is honored to digitally present
this stunning 1953 Jaguar C-Type Sports Racer Replica, finished in
the iconic Jaguar HFB Brooklands Green. Crafted by Proteus with a
GRP fiberglass body molded from an original C-Type, this
masterpiece captures the spirit of one of the most celebrated
racing legends. The fully triangulated space frame chassis,
powder-coated for durability, ensures a solid foundation, while the
wheels and hubs add an authentic touch to this timeless design.
Under the hood, a rebuilt 3.4L Jaguar S motor, bored to 3.8 liters,
roars to life with precision engineering. Paired with a Toyota
Supra 5-speed manual transmission, this car delivers a driving
experience that is both exhilarating and smooth. The engine
features high-performance upgrades, including Weber 40mm
carburetors, a high-capacity aluminum radiator, and a locking
differential with a 3.31 gear ratio for optimal power delivery.
Every component, from the Aston Martin distributor to the polished
harmonic balancer, has been thoughtfully selected to honor its
racing heritage.
Slide into the tan leather interior, grip the period-correct wood
and aluminum steering wheel, and feel the connection to the road as
you engage the 3-inch racing seat belts. The fully independent
suspension, sourced from Jaguar XJ6 and XJS models, has been
rebuilt to provide a balanced and responsive ride. Cross-drilled
rotors, power-assisted disc brakes, and dual master cylinders
ensure confident stopping power, while radial tires keep you firmly
planted on the pavement.
As you cruise through winding roads, the Smiths gauges keep you
informed, and the hum of the engine becomes a symphony of
performance. This C-Type replica, complete with a tool kit and
custom wiring, is a tribute to the golden age of motorsport.
Whether you're carving through corners or enjoying a leisurely
drive, this car invites you to experience the thrill of Jaguar's
racing legacy in every mile.
