The Jaguar Type C, or XK120C, is one of the most legendary racing cars in automotive history. Designed in the early 1950s to dominate endurance races, it famously won the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice, in 1951 and 1953, thanks to its lightweight chassis and high-performance engine derived from the Jaguar XK120. A true masterpiece of British engineering, the Type C remains one of the most sought-after and rarest models among collectors.
This rarity has driven spectacular auction results, such as in 2015 when an original example, chassis XKC 052, sold for $13.2 million at an RM Sotheby’s auction. Such a record-breaking price underscores the exclusivity and historical significance of the Type C, with only 53 examples ever produced. Most of these cars are now housed in museums or private collections, making it nearly impossible for enthusiasts to experience one firsthand.
This is why replicas of the Type C have been created, allowing enthusiasts to enjoy the unique experience of this iconic car. These replicas, faithful in their proportions, design, and often even their mechanics, provide an exciting alternative for those looking to drive a legendary model without the extreme costs and restrictions of an original.

The Jaguar Type-C Replica we are presenting is a stunning homage to the legendary C-Type, featuring an elegant aluminum body. Staying true to the spirit of 1950s racing cars, it is equipped with a tubular chassis that offers both lightness and rigidity, ensuring an authentic driving experience. Its Jaguar 3.8L six-cylinder engine, fed by three double-barrel Weber carburetors, delivers remarkable performance, enhanced by a captivating exhaust note.

Fitted with a homologated, removable roll bar and racing bucket seats, this replica exudes motorsport pedigree. It successfully participated in the 2023 Tour Auto and is eligible for numerous other historic rallies. Its striking
